4-H Camping Adventures

This summer the 4-H Office was excited to be able to take 27 youth to 4-H Camp at Millstone 4-H Camping Center during the week of June 29th-July 4th. While at camp the campers enjoyed a week of fun and friends. Campers were able to enjoy activities like swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, hiking, and archery to just name a few. Along with being able to send campers to the 4-H Camp Millstone, the 4-H Office was also able to send eight middle-school youth to Camp Challenge. Camp Challenge which was held at the 4-H Sertoma Camping Center is a week-long camp that provides middle school youth with leadership and teambuilding skills that provide the foundation for the to become the future leaders of tomorrow. For this upcoming summer the 4-H Office will once again be offering their camping program. For the 2009 Summer, Campers will be attending the Swannanoa 4-H Camping Center located in Swannanoa, N.C. which is right outside of Asheville. As well as offering eight camping slots to middle-school youth fro Camp Challenge. More information will follow in upcoming newsletters!
