Continuing to gain momentum, the Crex Meadows Youth Conservation Camp, located in Grantsburg, WI, has been making a difference in the lives of teenagers from northwest Wisconsin for over a decade. The Camp is administered by Northwest Wisconsin Concentrated Employment Program, Inc. (CEP, Inc.), a private non-profit organization established in 1968 to provide effective and efficient workforce development services to the employers and citizens of northwest Wisconsin.

 The unique experience at Crex Meadows Camp gives young people the following opportunities:

• A chance to excel and learn about skills they never knew they had

• Receive well-deserved paychecks for working hard

• Earn science or elective credits at their local high school

• Make life-long friendships

• Start planning for a brighter future

• Develop work ethic & life-long employability skills

Below are quotes and comments straight from our toughest critics...the campers themselves:

“I had so much fun. I wanted to stay longer and I was sad to leave.”

“I had a blast! I’d love to come back. This is my favorite time of the year.”

“This year’s staff ROCKED out loud!!! Could camp possibly get better?”

“Is next year here yet?”

“I loved meeting new people and seeing familiar faces again. I also like learning all of the new things including learning stuff  even when we work.”

“Camp was awesome! Thank you so much everyone.”

“This is like the best break from life.”

“I like that the counselors push you to work when slacking.”

“I like the hands-on experience and classes. No boring lectures or note-taking.”

“I’m going to miss waking up at 6:30, the quick showers, the weed whips & loppers, Chuck Norris, peanut butter and of course the TICKS!”
