Leadership Weekend '22!

Last weekend...

 


We were all back...


Around...


The campfire...


Once again...




For Leadership Weekend!


We cleared...



Out...


The Craftshop...


For its...



Upcoming...


(And very exciting!)





Renovation!


We hung out!

In all...


The Campy places...

We like to hang out!


Like our...

Brand-new...


Stream adjacent....
Sub-bridge...





Leadership...




Fire Ring!

An appropriate venue...


For all...

Our CIT II grads...


To gather...


On Leadership Weekend!


We...


Made up...

Some...

Brand-new...

Games...

And then...

We...

Played...


Them!

But mostly,

A whole bunch...


Of campers...

Who just recently...

Became too old...

To be campers anymore...

Shared...

Why 4-H Camp...

Meant so much to them...


And made plans...


About how they can...


Give back...

And make 4-H Camp mean...


Just as much...


To the next generation of campers...

As they move on...

To serve as our next generation of Junior Counselors...


In Summer 2022. 


In other words,

Exactly...

What Leadership Weekend is for. 






Next Up! MORE from Leadership Weekend - from our Junior Counselor's perspective!

APRIL!

We are THREE MONTHS (or 13 weeks [or 91 days {or 2184 hours}]) away from the first day of Summer Camp 2022!!!


So, we thought we'd share some updates!


Health Policy/Entrance Requirements

As our registered campers were informed via email, we have updated our anticipated COVID Policy for Summer 2022. You can read the details here, but the headlines is that vaccination is highly encouraged for all participants at 4-H Camp, but a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of the camp session will be accepted in lieu of proof of vaccination. 


Enrollment

4-H Camp is filling up for Summer 2022! 

We are currently sold-out for boys for Session #4 - and we anticipate Sessions #2 and #3 also reaching sold-out status this month. 

So, if you still need your bunk we recommend you get it soon - and if you're hoping to join our Lantern Family program by referring new campers, we recommend you do that soon too!


Class Sign Ups

In just a few weeks we'll be announcing our Classes and BIG Classes for Summer 2022, and campers will be able to select their favorites to participate in this summer. Stay tuned!


Leadership Weekend

We just had our annual Junior Counselor training here at 4-H Camp - to give you a quick synopsis, it was WONDERFUL. For a less quick synopsis, we'll be sharing a recap on this very blog soon!

A Winter View

Yes, at 4-H Camp we are looking forward to spring! 

 



Cause then we'll be even closer to summer!

But, we concede, their are some nice things about winter.



Like this specific view at sunset on the far side of the 'Round the Lake Trail, for instance.


A winter only feature. Even spring doesn't improve this view.






The only thing that improves this view...


Is focusing in on the Camp Dog.

Ahhh. Even better.



Perfect.





Fine - we'll let you hang around for another evening, winter.

Happy Groundhog Day!

All right. So,

 



We lost track of the Camp Groundhog...



A little while ago...

So, naturally...

We had the Camp Dog...

Fill in instead.

Now,

We can neither confirm...

Nor deny...

Whether Woodrow...

Saw his shadow.

But chances are.

You're in...

For six more weeks...



Of wintry...

4-H Camp photos.















Whether we like it or not.

Snowy Days!

Since it seems snow is potentially headed to a good portion of the state this weekend, 



We thought we'd share the view of a few flakes...



Floating down on the center of our frozen lake.

(Plus, snow really makes the color of Dro's coat pop nicely.)

Leadership Weekend! April 1st-3rd!


 

Happy Mid-Winter, Camp Family!


We're passing the frigid, snowy days by dreaming about our next IN-PERSON event this spring - our Leadership Weekend Program!


Leadership Weekend is for graduates of our CIT II Program who have aged out of their camper years AND applied to the Junior Counselor program for Summer 2022. 


(If the above describes YOU but you have yet to apply to be a Junior Counselor: Though we are nearing our applicant limit, we are still accepting JC Applications for the 2022 Season! Please apply here at your earliest convenience.)

Happy '22!

 




This dusting of snow on our new Leadership Fire Ring is technically from the end of '21, but we'll use it to wish you a happy start of '22 anyway!




The turn of the calendar is always worth celebrating at 4-H Camp, because we've been talking about Summer 2022 ever since September when Summer 2021 ended! (We started talking about Summer 2022 the first time we said see you next summer!)



So, it's always nice when the summer we're looking forward to ('22) finally matches the same year we're currently in ('22).




Cause that means (despite the wintry landscape) we're getting that much closer to all being back at summer camp again. 

So Happy '22!
