1 Welcome to the Wisconsin Lions Camp! The camp is owned and operated by the Wisconsin Lions Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization founded to administer the summer camp program and five other statewide programs supported by the Lions, Lioness and Leo Clubs of Wisconsin. We look forward to being able to work with you to host your conferences, retreats and workshops. The Wisconsin Lions Camp is a beautiful 440 acre facility located outside Rosholt, Wisconsin. We feature a private 45 acre lake, comfortable duplex cabins, and excellent food service, along with a myriad of programming options. Our friendly, skilled staff will assist you in every step of planning your time with us from setting up meeting spaces to facilitating teambuilding experiences. Each year, thousands of people experience personal and professional growth by participating in the conference programs at the Wisconsin Lions Camp. We pride ourselves in the ability to deliver outstanding quality and service to a wide range of clientele, from non-profit organizations to corporations. We invite you to come and see what we can do for your next event. Our rental season runs from September through May each year. We are unable to provide overnight programming from the beginning of June to the end of August. This is due to our summer camp programs, where we offer free one-week camping sessions to children and adults of Wisconsin with disabilities. We may be able to offer day programs during the summer months; please call for availability. Rentals from November to April are limited please call for more information. Due to the extraordinary effort required, we are not available for weddings. All fees we generate from our rental groups help to offset our summer camp costs. The Wisconsin Lions Camp has assembled the enclosed Price Guide for the 2017 year. We are pleased to share that we have not increased our pricing for the 2017 year; however, please note that all prices are subject to change without notice and as listed are for non-profit groups only. For-profit groups must contact us for pricing. Please take time to read through all the information on our programs, facility and food service that we can offer you. For any questions, please contact us at the information listed on the front cover. Thank you for your interest in an experience at the Wisconsin Lions Camp. If you would like more information or would like to talk to one of our professional staff about designing a program to meet your organization s needs, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to working with you! Sincerely, Andrea Yenter Camp Director ext. 319 ayenter@wisconsinlionscamp.com 1
