Wisconsin Badger Camp announces it is the recipient of a $3,120 grant from the United Way of Blackhawk Region. The grant will be used to provide financial assistance for individuals with developmental disabilities from Rock County that will attend Wisconsin Badger Camp this summer.

“The United Way of Blackhawk Region has played a vital role to Wisconsin Badger Camp for many years by helping Campers from Rock County attend camp in the summer,” said Development Director Kayla Leibfried. “We are truly grateful to have such a great relationship with the United Way of Blackhawk Region and appreciate everything they have done for Badger Camp,” said Leibfried.

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 United Way of Blackhawk Region, as Badger Camp does not receive any state or federal funding.
