Wisconsin Badger Camp Receives Grant from the Courtier Foundation

Wisconsin Badger Camp is proud to announce it is the recipient of a $2,000 grant from the Courtier Foundation.  This grant will go towards our Campership Program that helps allow individuals with developmental disabilities attend camp regardless of their financial situation. This grant will directly benefit 236 campers from Dane County.  Wisconsin Badger Camp hosts approximately 900 individuals every summer and this financial support helps allow our campers to continue to come back. 

The Courtier Foundation was established in 1999 in Wisconsin and their main purpose is, giving primarily to organizations which provide services for children, and housing and other services for elderly individuals in financial need.  Since Badger Camp does not accept any state or federal funding, the Courtier Foundation has played a large role in the success of the Campership Program. 
“The Courtier Foundation has been a continued supporter of our organization for years,” Development Director, Kayla Leibfried said. “Their support of our Dane County campers is vital to the success of our Campership Program.”


Wisconsin Badger Camp is an independent nonprofit organization located approximately 10 miles south of Prairie du Chien and serves approximately 900 individuals with developmental disabilities each summer.  Badger Camp relies on the community’s time, talent, and financial assistance to provide for its campers.
