Leadership Weekend 2020!

Leadership Weekend!

We ended with a group photo...

But we started...

With some...

Get-to-know-ya-games!

Because even though...

Most of our Leadership Weekend participants...

Have been coming to 4-H Camp...

For years... 
Many had never been here...

Together...

At the same time...

Before!

So, everyone...

Getting to know...


A bunch of other folks...

Who love 4-H Camp...

Just as much...

As they do...

Was certainly...

First on the to-do list.

So it was get-to-know-ya cooking!

Get-to-know-ya...

Table setting!

Get-to-know-ya-eating!



And get-to-know-ya-cleaning!

And then more get-to-know-ya-games!


And even though...

It was February...

We lucked out...

With some good...

Winter sunshine...

To enjoy some time outdoors...

At our shared...



Home away from home.

And we took advantage...

Of that winter sunshine...

To sneak in some...

Junior Counselor training!

Cause the weekend wasn't all fun and games!

It was also an introduction...



To the demands...

And rigors...

Of the Junior Counselor role at 4-H Camp!

Which we teach via fun and games.





When the winter sunshine went away...

(Leaving us with just winter out there...)

We moved the training indoors...

Where our second year Junior Counselors...

Shared...

Some of their...

Experience...

And knowledge...

As well as some...

Tips...

Some tricks...

And some advice...

For Junior Counselor success.

(Also delivered...

In fun...

And game...

Form.)

And then!

So quickly!

We were already...

At...

The end of the weekend!

However,

Like any time spent at 4-H Camp...

We cram so much...

Goodness into...

The minutes...

Hours...

And days here...

That all the benefits...

From getting this group together...

For a short winter weekend...


Are incalculable!

Because this group...

Of CIT graduates...
Campers emeritus...




And 4-H Camp devotees...



Needed to spend...

Some quality Camp time,

All here together, because they are the...

Exact folks...

Who will go on...


To support...

And define...

Our 4-H Camp program...

Not just for...

Summer 2020...

But for...



Summer 2021...

Summer 2022...

And beyond.

Our *New* NEW CAMPER GUIDE!

We're pleased to share a resource our Camp Office has been putting together...our *new* NEW Camper Welcome Guide!

Ever find Summer Camp nearly impossible to describe?

Us too!

Well, NOW...

Summer Camp is STILL nearly impossible to describe!

We're not changing that.

But NOW we've got a nice little booklet to help TRY to describe 4-H Camp to new campers!

Feast your eyes!

You can check it out below, or it's available for viewing or download at the Camp website.

If you're hoping to join our Lantern Program by referring a brand-new camper for Summer 2020, sending this guide along is a great way to start!

Special thanks to John, Julia, Erika, and Julie for editing assistance!

Another Sold-Out Session (And 1000 Campers!)

Well, if last was first when Session #7 sold out, now first is second because...



Yes, the very first week of our summer, our After-the-4th-of-July-so-later-than-usual-thus-so-late-it's-winter-Summer-Kick-off now officially has a full roster of campers. 


And with it we now have:






So, though our bookends to the season (Sessions #1 and #7) are now sold-out, we still have some spots available for most the other weeks! 

Get 'em while the getting is good, cause Summer 2020 is filling up fast. (An exciting thought, for dreary February.)
