United Fund of Iowa County Supports Wisconsin Badger Camp

Wisconsin Badger Camp is the proud recipient of a $2,500 grant from the United Fund of Iowa County.  This grant will be used to provide Camperships to 21 campers in Iowa County.  With the help of the United Fund of Iowa County, Wisconsin Badger Camp was able to serve 838 campers this past summer regardless of the severity of their disability or ability to pay the requested camp fee.

 By providing outdoor recreational experiences such as fishing, hiking, camping, horseback riding, canoeing, and arts & crafts, Wisconsin Badger Camp brings the tradition of outdoor recreational experiences to people of any ability or age regardless of one’s financial situation. 

 “We appreciate the commitment the United Fund of Iowa County  made to support youth and adults with developmental disabilities,” Wisconsin Badger Camp Development Director, Kayla Smith said. “We truly appreciate this donation and the continuous commitment,” Smith said. 

Wisconsin Badger Camp is an independent nonprofit organization located approximately 10 miles south of Prairie du Chien and serves approximately 800 individuals with developmental disabilities each summer. Badger Camp relies on the community’s time, talent, and financial assistance to provide for its campers. Camp starts June 9^h and runs through August 17^th.  If you or someone else you know would like more information on how to make a donation or tour information please call Wisconsin Badger Camp at (608) 348-9689 or visit our website at: www.badgercamp.org.
