This remark by a blind teenager started it over 50 years ago. That chance comment was overheard by a Lions Club member in Poysippi, Wisconsin and has turned dream into reality for thousands of youth and adults with disabilities. The Lions of the state of Wisconsin created the Wisconsin Lions Camp in 1956 and also created the Wisconsin Lions Foundation, Inc. at the same time to administer the Camp program.
The Wisconsin Lions Camp is dedicated to providing a quality camping experience free-of-charge to eligible Wisconsin residents who are Blind or visually impaired, Deaf or Hard of Hearing, youth with mild cognitive disabilities and youth with diabetes. For more information on who is eligible for out camping programs, please click on the information on the Summer Camp menu at the top of this page. In addition, our Retreat and Conference Center programs provide an opportunity for all to experience the Wisconsin Lions Camp while benefiting our summer camp programs.
We invite you to take a look at our programs and see what we can do for you.
