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 100 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 or discovering all the creatures that live in the cool water during the creek walk. You can bring friends with you AND you will make lots of new friendships at camp. 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 Southwest Iowa's 4-H 5th & 6th Grade Junior Camp, June 15-18, at the Iowa 4-H Camping Center near Madrid, Iowa.
Area 4-H Junior camp is open to all Southwest Iowa youth who have completed grades 5 and 6 and will be held in Birch Village. The camp will be filled at 100 youth, so you will want to register as soon as you can before it fills up. We will be using your Medical form filled out at the beginning of the 4-H Year provided to us by your county extension office. Please make sure you have it updated if needed. Registration, Parental Permission and Request for providing Medication at a 4-H Event form (if needed) for any youth taking medication while at camp are available from the Montgomery Co. Extension Office. Registration Deadline is May 23.
