WI Lions summer camp apps available

The Wisconsin Lions 2023 summer camp applications are now available. Camping opportunities are open to blind and visually-impaired youth and adults; autistic and intellectually-disabled youth and young adults; youths with diabetes; youths with epilepsy; and youths and adults who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.

Camps run for one week during the summer months. The camp is at Rosholt and includes the usual experiences a youth would expect from a one-week summer camp. Youths who apply and are accepted can contact their local Lions club, which will often provide transportation to and from camp. There is a $25 deposit fee for campers, which can be waived by contacting the camp or your local Lions club. Opportunities also exist for paid summer positions for counselors, specialists, and healthcare assistants, support specialists and interpreters for the deaf or hardof- hearing. Students who need volunteer time for school purposes may apply for those positions on an unpaid basis as well.

Camper applications can be found online at rjotto.com/LionsCamp/ and counselor/staff position applications can be found at wilionscamp.workbrightats. com/jobs/.

For more information, contact the club secretary of the Loyal Lions Club at loyallionsclub@gmail.com or 920-255-6012 or visit the Wisconsin Lions Foundation website at wlf.info.
