In addition to the Main Camp programs, Badger Camp offers a Travel Program.
The Travel Program offers a variety of overnight trips both in Wisconsin, and in surrounding states. Each trip is limited to 6 campers per session and are guided by 2 experienced staff members. Campers that participate in both Primitive Camp and the Travel Program must be ambulatory, and require little assistance in most of their activities of daily living, personal care needs, and are generally more independent than campers that attend Main Camp Programs. These programs were designed for those looking for a unique and somewhat more challenging experience. If you have questions regarding your camper, and if they would benefit from Travel or Primitive camp programming please contact our Camp Director, Katelyn Carr, and she will answer any questions you may have.
Important Information Regarding Travel Camp Fees: Due to the uniqueness of the Travel Camp Program the payment of the requested Camp Fee is essential from each camper in order to break even with costs for the program. Therefore. any campers that choose to attend any of the Travel Camp Programs are NOT eligible for campership aid, and MUST pay the entire camp fee in full. Any remaining balances from previous summers must be settled before being registered for a Travel Camp.
