Additional Information:

Our campers can enjoy camp year-round with programming at both Camp Wawbeek and Respite Camp. Please visit our website for more information about specific sessions, or contact us with any questions. We are here to help families and individuals choose the right camp session, and are happy to arrange tours for new camp families.

We have two camps on the grounds, Camp Wawbeek and the Wisconsin Elks/Easter Seals Wisocnsin Respite Camp. Camp Wawbeek has a small group setting that offers any campers with physical or mild to moderate cognitive disabilities, or those who need behavioral support, an experience they will never forget. Camp Wawbeek's sessions are based on the age or needs of the campers,. Camp Wawbeek serves ages 7 and up.

Wisconsin Elks/Easter Seals Wisconsin Respite Camp offers a one to one staff to camper ratio that allows us to customize the camp experience for each camper based on his/her needs. Respite Camp sessions are open to any camper of any age, unless specified on the schedule as age specific, serving campers age 3 and up.

Our accessible camps share over 400 beautifully-wooded acres near Wisconsin Dells. Both camps provide a unique environment that allows campers to experience and learn things that parents and caregivers may not have the expertise, time, financial resources, or energy to provide. Our programming ensures that activities will be educational, and always while having fun! Campers have the opportunity to participate in age-appropriate, accessible activities that may include arts & crafts, nature programs, archery, swimming, games & recreations, field trips to Wisconsin Dells attractions, pontoon boat rides, canoeing, fishing, zip-line, climbing wall, ropes courses, dances and more!
