SW Iowa 4-H Jr. Camp--A walk on the wild side.

While everyone else is bored with the same old stuff like hanging out in the back yard or watching TV, you can be:

• Learning how to climb up a 50 foot high wall and rappelling back down.

• Rowing to the front of the pack in your sleek canoe.

• Searching for creatures of the night through night hikes.

• Playing water volleyball.

• Discovering all the creatures that live in the cool water during the creek walk.

• Making new friends.

• And lots more!!!! 

This is just a brief sample of the great activities happening at camp this summer. 

Take a ride on the "WILD" side and mark on your calendars to attend Regions 12, 17 & 18  4-H 5^th & 6^th Grade Junior Camp, June 9-12, 2013 at the Iowa 4-H Camping Center near Madrid, Iowa.
