The Blue Lotus Center

The mission of the Blue Lotus Center is to assist people of any age with profound life challenges by offering accessible outdoor recreational and therapeutic opportunities in a caring, accepting, and inspiring 64-acre day-camp setting. Our vision is to inspire, stimulate and invigorate the human spirit through a connection with the natural environment.

Our mission focuses on five distinct beneficiary populations:

• People with cognitive or physical disabilities.
• People with chronic or terminal illnesses.
• Seniors living in memory care facilities.
• People experiencing economic hardship.
• Survivors of abuse, trauma, PTSD or those who have experienced mental health crises.

Blue Lotus provides nature-based activities and retreat opportunities for children, adults, and seniors year-round.

For over 20 years, we have offered nonprofits and individuals throughout Southeastern Wisconsin the opportunity to spend a relaxing and joyful day in safe and beautiful surroundings. We offer a wide variety of activities such as: pedal boats, kayaks, canoes, fishing, a four-acre pond, swings, nature trails, a musical garden, a heated pool, yard games, and much more.

We primarily offer three types of programming: Blue Lotus programming such as our Blue Lotus Days for children with disabilities and their families; nonprofit groups who have the entire property to themselves for their own programming; workshops and nonprofit staff/board retreats.

With many accessible facilities, Blue Lotus fosters a welcoming environment where individuals and groups can experience the restorative power of nature.
