Blind kids can't go to outdoor camps and stuff like
that…
This remark by a blind teenager started it all over 40 years ago. That
chance comment, overheard by a Wisconsin Lions Club member, has turned
dream into reality for thousands of youth and adults with disabilities
throughout Wisconsin.
Since its beginning in 1956, the Wisconsin Lions Camp has been dedicated
to providing a quality camping experience for persons with disabilities.
The goals and objectives of the camp reflect a true commitment to
excellence. Its primary objective is to provide a fun, safe and
memorable camping experience that will have a positive impact on the
camper's life. This is accomplished through a carefully designed program
which focuses on each camper's individual and unique needs.
How can your child go to the camp?
There is NO COST for participation in any of the
summer programs; however, a refundable application deposit is required. Applications are available from any Lion member or call the camp at
715-677-4761
Lions Clubs throughout Wisconsin generously support the camp and its
programs, along with help from individual contributors.
