Wisconsin Badger Camp

USA Summer Camp

I was very honoured to have the opportunity to work with physical and intellectual disabled adults at Wisconsin Badger Camp. Wisconsin Badger Camp’s goal is to provide a positive natural environment where individuals with developmental disabilities can learn about their surroundings and realise their full potential. Through a group living experience, campers develop friendships and expand their social skills. Everyone, regardless of the severity of their disability, is welcome at Badger Camp. https://www.badgercamp.org/

Wisconsin Badger Camp’s staff are as important to the campers as the activities or the natural surroundings. Staff members are carefully selected for their understanding, patience, experience and personal commitment to the campers as individuals.

All individuals with developmental disabilities (ages 3 and older) are welcome regardless of the severity of their disability, race, religion, creed, geographic location, sex, age, or national origin. Our well-trained staff work with campers who have epilepsy, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, use wheelchairs, wear braces, are visually or hearing impaired, or experience other developmental disabilities. A current physical and physician’s approval to participate are required. Financial assistance is available.

Ways To Give

Wisconsin Badger Camp is a private, non-profit organization registered as a charity in the state of Wisconsin. Due to the generosity of groups and individuals, Badger Camp does not solicit for any state or federal funding. Campers are encouraged, but not required, to pay a moderate fee. To date, no one has been denied services due to their inability to pay the requested camp fee.

Funding

Contributions are accepted from groups, organizations and individuals to provide needed equipment, improvements at camp, expand programming, provide financial assistance to campers and provide educational training to staff. You can also perpetuate and expand the program at Wisconsin Badger Camp with a bequest or special gift. An endowment fund has been established in which all contributions are protected to ensure Badger Camp’s future.

See more about our Donor Advised Funding opportunities.

Financial Assistance

A Campership Fund has been established so that individuals, businesses, groups and foundations can sponsor campers. Camperships are awarded to specific campers and all sponsors receive a report from camp about their camper. To request financial assistance, simply complete the Campership Request section on the camp application and the necessary forms will be sent to you. In order to assist as many campers as possible, camperships are not available for the two-week session and travel programs.

Please contact  Badger camp with any questions regarding ways you can support Badger Camp and our campers, please contact Logan Noe, Director of New Gifts, at 608-348-9689 or lnoe@badgercamp.org

Feeling ‘good’

Great philosophers have come up with different definitions for fashion. But all of them hold one concept in common – looking and feeling good! If you are fashionable, you are confident of your looks. You are sure that you are conveying the right impression before the other person. Being fashionable will certainly help you in taking the first step towards your ‘goal’.

Dressing with confidence is more than just putting on the most recent form of fashion, it’s about liking what you’re wearing, looking balanced and feeling confident in all circumstances. The way you dress can have a gigantic effect on your conduct, outlook, and even identity. I question, how often do you look in a mirror and feel that confidence shine through the fabric?

If your answer is ‘not that much’ then your either shopping for your wrong persona, or maybe you need a little advice regarding body image. For a long time I didn’t enjoy the way I looked and felt in clothes and as a fashion student thats really quite degrading.

Take a look on my support page to see if there is a organisation that could benefit you.

Why I&V?

IRIS N VOILIA, who are they? Iris is my grandma and what a wonderful woman she is although She died when I was only a couple of months old, the stories I hear and the diary entries I read are more magical than what I can ever describe to you. Somebody almost so special I don’t want her to be real Incase she wasn’t as amazing as what I think she would be, not that I could ever have any doubt. It’s almost like she’s the Santa or the tooth fairy when I was a child. Trying to get to sleep as fast as I could so I could meet her in my dreams. As a child I was rather spiritual and I could feel her, I really could feel her touch, feel her aura but now I can’t and I’m not sure why and it makes me sad.

VOILIA, isn’t it such a beautiful name? Voilia is my nannas middle name and I have fallen in love with the name since the first time I heard it. I’ve known my nanna since I was around 10 years old, after living with my mum who was a single parent she finally met who is now her husband who gave the the best grandparents in the world and I couldn’t treasure them more. My Nanna gives me such motivation to be proud and happy of who I am and to crab the world with both hands. She couldn’t be more proud, and neither could I. She’s around 4’7, bleach blonde hair with the most beautiful temperament, she’s my little polly pocket.

Voilia was the name of a Russian Ballet Dancer my great grandmother fell in love with and thats where the name came from.
