This camp is available to 4-H members in grades 3-6 who are enrolled in 4-H in Miami County. This 3 day, 2 night camp brings together nearly 250 youth to learn and make new friends. Some of the activities kids will participate in at camp include hiking, archery, crafts, nature, foods, sports, rock climbing, swimming, and so much more! Each cabin is led by 2 high school 4-H members who have been trained by camp staff and Purdue Extension Educators. Campers love returning to camp year after year to learn new things, make new friends, and build important lifeskills. Applications for campers will come out in early spring, keep an eye on your email, mailbox, and/or social media for that information. Space is limited.
