Norman B. Barr Camp's mission is to provide a free, Christian-based summer camp experience for those in need that enriches lives through the enjoyment of God's gifts of nature, community, and faith. NBBC has been changing lives and giving back to those in need since 1909. Each summer Norman B. Barr Camp provides free camping experiences for children and groups of adults with disabilities who come from churches, schools, and community organizations. Norman B. Barr Camp (NBBC) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization registered with both the Wisconsin Secretary of State and the Wisconsin Attorney General.
The camp hosts 12 boys (8–13 years old) and 12 girls (8–13 years old) in each group and welcomes people from area not-for-profit adult disability programs at no cost, with 12+ groups of campers per summer season. During the summer, the Shore Path Shuffle fundraising walk covers 21 miles around the lake and ends with an ice cream party at the refectory. The NBBC Children’s Fund supports transportation costs, facility improvements and capital projects, and resources for special programs and guest presenters such as the Reptile Guy, The Magician, GLAS, and Canines 4 Christ, and it aims to expand access to camp by providing scholarships for campers in need and support for returning counselors.
