Berenschot attends Wisconsin Lions Camp
Randy Hansen and Lane Berenschot attended the Wisconsin Lions camp Wednesday, August 9th. They joined the Spencer Lions Club on a camp tour. The tour consisted of a one-hour walking tour, dinner with the campers and a hay ride. The campers in attendance that week were the blind and visually impaired.
The Wisconsin Lions Camp, owned and operated by the Wisconsin Lions Foundation Inc., begins its 61st year of camping for youth and adults with disabilities on May 30, 2017. The eleven-week summer camping program is provided free of charge, made possible by the financial support of the Lions, Lioness, and Leo Clubs of Wisconsin. Individuals and corporate donors also assist the Lions with financial support, making the Camp possible. Specialized camping sessions are scheduled for youth and adults who are blind or visually impaired or deaf or hard of hearing. Camping sessions are also scheduled for youth who socially or educationally function as having an intellectual disability or educational autism, or for youth with diabetes. The Lions Camp provides summer employment opportunities in positions of cabin counselors, program specialists, and nurses, with male counselors and nurses being our greatest need. We also offer a counselor-in-training program for youth ages 16 & 17 for a fee.
In addition to the regular summer camping program, the Wisconsin Lions Camp has rental opportunities during the off-season. The facility is available for rental, with preference given to school groups, organizations serving persons with disabilities, and other non-profit groups.
