Boys and girls ages 8-15 (as of Jan. 1, 2019) residing in Carbon County are invited to join the fun and attend 4-H Camp.
4-H Camp is part of the beautiful Seven Mountains Scout Camp in Spring Mills. The fee covers lodging, meals, medical insurance, workshop materials, T-shirt, and transportation to and from the camp.
Camp runs June 24 through June 28 and promises to be a week of fun.
Campers will meet new people, learn about nature, make a craft, get challenged at paddle boarding, kayaking, or playing human foosball, participate in campfires, swim at the pool and lots more.
The theme for the week is “Making a Splash.”
Seven Mountains Scout Camp consists of two cabin areas, each with multiple bunk beds, indoor toilets and common sitting area. Campers of similar age and gender will be housed together. Trained counselors will be housed in cabin areas and will supervise all activities.
A camp director, 4-H Youth Development Extension staff, nurse and adult volunteer chaperones will be present at all times.
If you are interested in this camping experience for your child or for more information on 4-H, contact the Carbon County 4-H office at 570-325-2788.
Registration is due by May 13.
