Grant County Thrift Shop Supports Wisconsin Badger Camp Campers



Grant County Thrift Shop Supports Wisconsin Badger Camp Campers

           
            Grant County Thrift Shop of Lancaster, WI donated $1,000 to go towards the campership fees of Orchard Manor residents of Lancaster. The money donated will help Orchard Manor residents attend Wisconsin Badger Camp this summer.

This summer Orchard Manor campers may choose to participate in any number of activities from our various programs. Whether it is fishing, canoeing, horseback riding, swimming, hiking, arts, crafts or any of our countless activities, they are sure to have an exciting camp experience.

“We are truly grateful for the continuous support of the Grant County Thrift Shop. They help make it possible for Orchard Manor residents on strict or limited incomes attend Badger Camp.” Wisconsin Badger Camp Development/Communications Director, Kayla Smith said. “They will be able to participate in many fun activities that are not normally available to them, at the same time making memories that last a lifetime,” Smith said.

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 outdoor recreational experiences. Wisconsin Badger Camp accepts campers regardless of age, severity of a disability, or financial situation.  Wisconsin Badger Camp relies on the generosity of organizations and businesses like Grant County Thrift Shop as Badger Camp does not receive any state or federal funding.
