| 4-H Summer Camp | |
| |
| If you would like to do something really fun this summer, and if you are in grades 3-8, you’re invited to 4-H Summer Camp! This 4-day, 3-night adventure provides a wide variety of fun and educational activities in a safe, supervised environment. Trained counselors and staff lead arts and crafts, waterfront, nature, and recreational activities that are designed to help you explore new things, learn new skills and develop new friendships. Outpost older campers, grades 7-8, will camp off-site, sleep in tents, and participate in activities such as rock-climbing and canoeing. This year Brown County will be camping together with Winnebago County at Upham Woods Outdoor Learning Center in Wisconsin Dells, July 8th-11th. Upham Woods is the only camp facility owned by 4-H in Wisconsin and offers an exceptional facility and staff. For more information about Upham Woods, visit the website at http://www.uwex.edu/ces/4h/uphamwoods/index.cfm | |
| |
| Additional information, costs, and application forms for youth campers will be available online Friday, February 5. Since you do not need to be a 4-H member to attend 4-H Summer Camp, we encourage all 4-H members to invite a friend to attend camp with them this summer! | |
