West Allis Shiners
The West Allis Sunshiners chapter of Milwaukee County was formed and became part of Wisconsin Campers Association in 1972. The West Allis Sunshiners are a group of about fifteen families strong whom share the outdoor experience and camaraderie of camping with good friends. Membership consists of infants to grandparents, sprinkling retirees, snowbirds and some multi-generation families into the mix. The variety of camping units varies from tents to motor homes with everything in between.
Members live in and around Milwaukee and its surrounding area and several northern Illinois communities. Camping outings are scheduled every two to three weeks, beginning in mid-April and continuing into mid-October. These outings include the WCA Campventions in June and August. The West Allis Sunshiners general camp in southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. To provide members with the advance opportunity to join any giving outing, campouts are selected during the fall/winter for the following year.
Campouts vary from a simple weekend get together to an outing where games and meals are planned for all to participate and enjoy. In late fall and winter, the West Allis Sunshiners have a Christmas Party and winter outing. The chapter also participates in the WCA winter events. The Sunshiner's strive to provide opportunities to keep contact year round and build friendships until the next camping season. The fall/winter monthly chapter meeting are held at a Milwaukee business and when needed, summer meetings are held during campouts.
