What is Wander Wisconsin’s philosophy and program emphasis?
A program of Wisconsin Youth Company, Wander Wisconsin is a non-profit travel camping program that emphasizes small group, outdoor camping and travel under the leadership of experienced, caring adult role models. Travel and the outdoors both foster a sense of adventure and independence. A safe and secure environment creates the conditions for campers to successfully step out of their comfort zones resulting in personal growth. The community created by the small group and fostered by the trip leaders encourages campers to value themselves and others. The variety of places and skills to choose from provides opportunities for campers to explore and pursue individual interests. The unique and beautiful outdoor settings, as well as the leave no trace camping ethics modeled by leaders, encourages campers to value the environment.
