WBC Receives Grant towards New Camper Lodge

 Wisconsin Badger Camp is a proud recipient of a $5,000 grant from the B & A Esther Greenheck Foundation. This grant will go toward Wisconsin Badger Camp’s new camper lodge Building Fund. This is the first time that Badger Camp has received a grant from the B & A Esther Greenheck Foundation, located in Wausau, WI.

 The maximum number of campers Badger Camp can take for a one week session is 100 campers. Wisconsin Badger Camp currently has three lodges for campers. This new camper lodge will help address the waiting list and build capacity. The new lodge would be used for boarding during camp and also during out off-season.

“We are very excited to receive this grant from the B & A Esther Greenheck Foundation towards our new lodge,” said Development Director, Kayla Leibfried. “It is wonderful our building fund and camp grow.”  

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.
