Wisconsin Badger Camp Receives Grant from Eau Claire Community Foundation

A grant for $1,200 was awarded to Wisconsin Badger Camp’s Campership Program.  This grant will financially assist 6 campers from Eau Claire County.  Wisconsin Badger Camp is able to financially support our campers thanks to the continued support from foundations, like the Eau Claire Community Foundation.  In over 45 years of operation, Wisconsin Badger Camp has never turned a camper away due to their inability to pay. 

The Eau Claire Community Foundation’s mission is  “We strengthen our community by offering donors opportunities to establish charitable legacies, by making grants, and by serving as a catalyst to address community needs.”

“The Eau Claire Community Foundation’s support of our Campership Program is greatly appreciated, our six campers from Eau Claire County will be able to attend Badger Camp regardless of their financial situation,” Development Director, Kayla Leibfried said. “Thank you, Eau Claire Community Foundation.”

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 information 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.
