75th Celebrations Continue with Opening Weekend Workday!

If it seems like we’ve been celebrating our 75th Anniversary for a while, that’s because we’ve been celebrating our 75th Anniversary for a WHILE!


Yes, our year-long celebration kicked off last summer with Summer #75, has continued all year long, and will go straight through this summer’s official 75th anniversary season…or, our:


(It’s a real word. We didn’t make it up! Although, admittedly, it does sound exactly like something we’d make up.)

SEM-ee-SES-kwi-sen-TEN-ee-uhl

semi (½) + sesqui (1½) + centennial (100th)

½ * 1½ * 100 = 75th Anniversary


But, as we move toward the Semisesquicentennial (you'll get used to it) Summer, we've still got a few celebratory events to hit first. Like our OPENING WEEKEND!






Opening Weekend Work Day

Sunday, June 7th

10am-2pm



Opening Weekend is when we really kick into high gear getting ready for summer. Some of our counselors will be in attendance for lifeguard and archery training, and others will be leading up summer preparation projects.

Join in on the fun with in with some 4-H volunteers and alumni on Sunday, June 7th and you can help us get the place ready with some deep cleaning (fun!), trail prep, and special projects.

RSVP here if you’d like to join in. Lunch will be provided.

(Believe it or now, work days are one of our most requested family events! We're happy to provide the opportunity as we continue our 75th festivities.)


After Opening Weekend, we're down to our Lantern BBQ on then summer itself. A year flies when you're having fun!

What an Alumni Family Weekend!

With the arrival...


Of the very merry...

Month of May,

We felt...

It was high time...

To fill...

4-H Camp...

With a bit...






Of...

Spring...

Family fun!



And,

That's...



Just...

What...

We did!

What...

Better way...



To begin...





To start...

To consider...



Almost...

Getting...



Ready...



For summer...

Than...

To have...

A bunch...

Of our...



Camp families...

Stay with us...

For a...













Weekend...



And...




Help...





Test...

The place...

Out.

Yes,



We enjoyed...

Meals in the Dining Hall,



Games...



In...

The bowl,

And...

Just...

Made...

Ourselves...







At home...





Throughout...

4-H Camp's...






108 acre woods.



Sure,









The...



Temperature...





 Might...



Have...

Been...



A little...

Crisp,

But that...

Didn't keep us...

From enjoying an outdoor weekend,





And it...



Sure...





Didn't...


Keep us...

Off of...

The lake.

Somebody...

Had to...

Ensure...



All the canoes...



Were seaworthy...



(Lake worthy?)

For the...

Summer,

And our Camp families...



Were up for the task.





More than anything,

This wonderful weekend...



Filled with wonderful people...





Helped...

Remind us...

That...

4-H Camp...

Isn't really...

4-H Camp...

Until...



It's filled...

With people...





To...

Enjoy...











Their...

Time here...





And...

Enjoy...

Their...



Time...



Together.

So,

Thanks...

To all the families...





And all...



The volunteers...

For making...

This little...

Weekend in the woods...

 A success, 

And for...

Putting us on the right path...

As we keep moving...



Toward Summer 2026.
