Allen Foundation Supports
Wisconsin Badger Camp
Wisconsin
Badger Camp is the proud recipient of a $5,000 grant from the Allen Foundation. The grant will be used to provide
financial assistance for individuals in Rock County with developmental
disabilities that will attend Wisconsin Badger Camp this summer.
Located
10 miles south of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin Badger Camp is a private, non-profit organization that serves
individuals with developmental disabilities by providing quality and
challenging outdoor recreational experiences. Wisconsin Badger Camp accepts campers
regardless of age, severity of a disability, geographical location, or
financial situation. Wisconsin Badger
Camp relies on the generosity of organizations like the Allen Foundation, as
Badger Camp does not receive any state or federal funding.
“We appreciate the support of the Allen Foundation in providing financial assistance to our campers in Rock County,” Wisconsin Badger Camp Development Director, Kayla Smith said. “The Allen Foundation is helping us to send 24 individuals with developmental disabilities from Rock County regardless of their financial situation,” Smith said. “Because of foundations like this, Badger Camp has not had to turn a camper away based off the severity of their disability or inability to pay the requested camp fee for 46 years,” Smith said.
