Camp Slumber Sets for C.O.P.S Kids

Renengade Pigs Milwaukee Ironmen

As you may or may not know, The Renegade Pigs are proud supporters of National Concerns Of Police Survivors and Wisconsin Concerns Of Police Survivors. Every year C.O.P.S. hosts Kids Camp here in Wisconsin. What is C.O.P.S. Kids Camp? C.O.P.S. Kids Camp is a camp planned for surviving children ages 6-14 and their parent/guardian of law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty. C.O.P.S. Kids Camp provides family interaction, camp activities, grief counseling, relaxation and lots of old-fashioned fun! Campers have the opportunity to attend grief counseling sessions specifically designed for their needs and participate in activities such as swimming, fishing, arts and crafts, canoeing, ropes courses and campfire skits. The goal for campers is to leave the week with a continuing support system and a tremendous sense of personal growth and self- awareness for the future.

It has been our pleasure assisting with the arrival of campers at General Mitchell International Airport along with escorts to camp by on duty club members and other area Motor Officers. Members of the Renegade Pigs Milwaukee Ironmen also host ice cream night where they provide and serve ice cream so that campers and staff are able to make sundaes.

In 2014 we set a Bigger Long Term Goal. Families that attend the C.O.P.S. Kids Camp were required to bring items such as sheets, blankets, and towels. After speaking with many parents we learned that packing these linens for sometimes multiple surviving children along with themselves adds a huge addition to airline travel baggage fees.

This is where you can continue to help.  Your donations allowed The Milwaukee Ironmen to purchase 300 sets of  sheets, pillow cases, blankets, beach towels, and 600 bath towels. With a donation from WI Concerns of Police Survivors we were able to purchase bins for storage.  These linens will be delivered, picked up, laundered, and then stored for future campers as our ongoing commitment to C.O.P.S. and the families of fallen officers from all over the United States. Feel free to make donations for storage space, laundry expenses, and future replacements. We hope to never need more than 300 campers worth but if necessary purchase additional items.
