SPOTS AVAILABLE FOR VETERANS & THEIR FAMILIES TO ENJOY THIS FREE WEEKEND ON CAMP WITH OTHER VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

Twice a year, a free Veterans Family Camp weekend is held at Easterseals Wisconsin Camp Wawbeek in Wisconsin Dells for military veterans and their families. These weekends are meant for families to reconnect with each other and network with other veterans while having a fun and relaxing weekend with many optional planned activities. Activities include: fishing, archery, high-ropes course, arts and crafts, making s’mores, and other “Dells” activities such as a boat tour adventure.

Who can attend?

Family members may include spouses or significant others, children, parents, grandparents, etc. The camp is available to all veterans, recently-returned or those whose service was far in the past. Semi-private family lodging, food, all activities and trips are included, in a beautifully-wooded 400 hundred acre setting just outside the city of Wisconsin Dells.

Additional Information

If you, or someone you know, is a veteran who might be interested, please contact our Camp office by phone at (608) 237- 1551. To register for Veterans Family Camp, visit the registration page. The Veterans Family Camp weekend is offered at no cost to the veteran or their family through generous contributions to Easterseals Wisconsin.

In summer, kids can forget their worries about homework or grades and run off to play kickball, head to the beach or spend time running through sprinklers. For some kids, however, weighty concerns can hamper summer fun. Children in military families often deal with questions like, "Is my dad safe?" or "Will my mom come home from Afghanistan?" or even "How will I adjust to a new home and school?"
