Among the 46,000 Lions Clubs worldwide, there are 725 plus Lions, Lioness & Leo clubs in Wisconsin with approximately 25,000 members. This membership initiated a Lions Camp in 1956 to serve blind children with a week of camping, not only for the camping experience, but for enhancing their skills to cope with a life of blindness.  This early project has been expanded to serve children with other disabilities such as deaf or hard of hearing, mild cognitively disabled and children with diabetes.

The goal of the camp is to assist each child in the development of self-confidence, independence, social and outdoor recreational skills, environmental awareness, while creating a memorable experience for the campers.

The experiences of a week at Lions Camp have been known to change campers’ lives forever. In addition to teaching them that they are capable of doing whatever they choose, they learn about the environment and the great outdoors. They also establish friendships that will last a life time.
