The West Bend Kettle Kampers located in Washington County, was one of the first Wisconsin Camper's Association chapters to organize and held its first meeting on October 29, 1963 and received its charter on June 20, 1964 at the June Campvention.

West Bend Kettle Kampers

The Kettle Kampers are family oriented with 25 plus families in the chapter, ranging from tots to grandparents. Members camp in all types of units from tents to motorhomes and select campgrounds within a 100-mile radius of West Bend. The Kettle Kampers do not camp as a group on holidays. The Kettle Kampers usually schedule two campouts each month from May though October, in addition to the two Campventions in June and August. Members are free to attend the campouts of their choice. Members volunteer to host campouts. Potluck on Saturday is the norm unless the "host family" plans otherwise. It is up to the host family whether they choose to schedule activities and games. Members enjoy playing cards, swimming, shopping, riding bikes, golfing or just relaxing.
