Badger Camp Recieves Grant from The Monroe Fund

Wisconsin Badger Camp is proud to announce it is the recipient of a $1,275 grant from The Monroe Fund.  This grant will be put towards the campership program in Green County.  Since the grant is for Green County, 19 of our campers will be financially supported this summer.  The campership program gives campers the financial support to attend Badger Camp if the camper is unable to fully pay themselves.  We are so thankful for this grant, because we are able to send more campers to camp.

The Monroe Fund was founded in 1996 by Monroe citizens.  This permanent fund is able to give a percentage of their earnings back and improve the community through grants.  Because Badger Camp does not accept any state or federal funding, by having The Monroe Fund donate this grant will play an immense role in helping our campers have a successful time at camp. “We appreciate the continued support from The Monroe Fund for our Green County Campers” stated the Development/ Communications Director Kayla Leibfried.   

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.  If you or someone else you know would like more informations on how to make a donation or for tour information please call Wisconsin Badger Camp at (608) 348-9689 or visit our website at: www.badgercamp.org.
