Summer Camp

Welcome

Welcome to Wisconsin Lions Camp! We are proud to serve Wisconsin youth and adults with disabilities free of charge, thanks to our donors and supporters: Lions Clubs, businesses, organizations and individuals who believe Lions Camp is the experience of a lifetime.

We recently celebrated our 70th anniversary of Camp! Since we started in 1956, we’ve served thousands of of campers over these past 70 years. As we close out this 70th year, we’re looking forward to 2027, our 71st summer of operation.

Application Process


Application Process:

We are currently revising our application database with an anticipated opening date mid-January of 2027. Please stay tuned for updates. If you would like to be on our email list to be notified when applications open in 2027, please contact us at 715-677-4969.

Confirmation Process:

Our Camp Administrative Assistant checks applications to ensure they are completed. The application deposit must be received by our accounting department and verified which can take up to 2-3 business days.

The Camp Director then reviews the application and verifies that the camper is eligible through the application, educator information and phone calls/emails to families to ensure Camp will be a successful experience. This process can take anywhere from a half hour to a few weeks depending on the need for follow up phone calls or emails to learn more about our campers. The initial rush of applications can make the confirmation process take up to a month due to the large number of applications received.

A confirmation email will be sent to the family if camper is accepted. Please check your spam email as the emails come from our camper database and sometimes seen as spam. Most information about Camp will be on the website so that you can find it easily.

After the confirmation is sent, we then require additional forms to be completed. The waiver form and additional health and diet questionnaires can be completed online. A medical examination (physical) done by a medical professional is required every 24 months to ensure general health and wellbeing of campers to attend Camp. That form must be downloaded from your camper portal and brought to your doctor’s office.

A letter will be mailed if camper application is denied.

We reserve the right to accept or deny an application. Each session has room for up to 150 campers.
