Camp BASIC (Brothers And Sisters In Christ) is a week-long WELS Bible Camp for people with special needs. This is the 40th year of Camp. It takes place at Wyalusing State Park near Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin in their beautiful indoor camp facility which includes four cabins, a main lodge and an awesome fire pit singing area. Usually there are months to plan for camp, however, just last week the facility confirmed! Now they are scrambling for counselors. Camp BASIC will take place from June 20 – 26, 2021. It is the goal to assign one camper to one counselor. Each camper/counselor pair will eat meals together, attend Bible lessons, singing, crafts, and other fun activities together. The group enjoy various off-campus activities like fishing, swimming, hiking, and bowling. You’ll sing, laugh, and sometimes even cry together. Every year they grow closer to Jesus and make some awesome friendships. This year there are 23 campers signed up but only 8 counselors. All WELS families or individuals are welcome. For more information, check out the website at www.campbasic.com. This event is free for all counselors and includes food, a t-shirt and amazing memories and new friendships. If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please call Pastor Dave Pries at 920-285-1068.
