Camp Send A Kid
About
Camp Send a Kid (CSAK) is a non-profit organization that aims to get children between the ages of 8-12 yrs outdoors and enjoying the fresh air!!
We want everyone to enjoy the experiences that a summer camp gives a child! We run a one week camp for children in the Greater La Crosse area who have never been to camp before or do not have the means or opportunity to go to any other summer camps. While here the kids learn about nature and archery, as well as get to try out fishing, canoeing, and hiking! The communities DARE and GREAT officers love coming out to have a blast with the kids while also giving a short session on a topic important to the community.

The Camp Send A Kid Experience, AUGUST 2014 Article
You can see it in their walk. You can see it in the way they talk, whether they are enjoying swimming, archery, tomahawk throwing, singing songs, eating, gazing at the stars, helping each other, creating crafts, canoeing, hiking, sitting by a campfire, enjoying nature, making new friends, or just having an opportunity to talk one-on-one with counselors and school resource officers.
