Badger Camp's counselors are as important to the campers as the activities or the natural surroundings. Counselors and activity directors are carefully selected for their understanding, patience, experience, and personal commitment to the campers as individuals. Over fifty paid staff, including two health care providers and a dietary advisor, are hired every summer. In addition, a physician is available via phone 24 hours per day.
All staff attend a week long training workshop prior to the firs week of camp.
Volunteers are an important program and financial asset to Badger Camp. Individuals have volunteered their services for everything from clearing trails to being camp nurse. Many volunteers and staff members pursue careers of service to developmentally disabled people because of their experiences at Wisconsin Badger Camp. A Volunteer Board of Directors mad up of camper' parents, business operators, health care professionals, teachers, and interested people help set policies and the direction of Badger Camp.
