Animal Adventures @ 4-H Camp<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lehigh Valley, Pa – Join the FUN! Boys and girls ages 8-15 (as of 1\/1\/25) are invited to attend 4-H Camp. 4-H Camp is part of the beautiful Seven Mountains Scout Camp in Spring Mills, PA. The $450 covers lodging, meals, medical insurance, workshop materials, and transportation to and from the camp.<\/p>\n

4-H Camp, June 23rd<\/sup> \u2013 27th<\/sup>, 2025<\/strong> will be a week of fun! What do we do at camp? Meet new people, learn about nature, make a craft, play human foosball or Ga-Ga, participate in campfires, kayak on the lake, swim at the pool, and have lots more fun! Our theme for the week is \u201cAnimal Adventures\u201d where we will discover the fascinating world of small ruminants like goats and sheep, rabbits, and dogs, and how to build healthy soils, conserve water like a pro, and turn manure into a valuable resource.<\/p>\n

The facility consists of three cabin areas, each with multiple bunk beds, indoor toilets, and a common sitting area. Campers of similar age and gender will be housed together. Trained counselors will be housed in cabin areas and will supervise all activities. A camp director, 4-H Youth Development Extension staff, nurse, and adult volunteer chaperones will always be present.<\/p>\n

Why do campers return to 4-H Camp?<\/strong> \u201cTo connect with old friends and meet new people.\u201d \u201cFor the Campfires,\u201d \u201cfor the crafts,\u201d \u201cfor the sports!\u201d<\/p>\n

Why do parents send their children to 4-H camp?<\/strong> \u201cI send my kids to camp to meet new people and enjoy face to face interactions (as opposed to engaging each other through social media\/text messages). The camp experience empowers kids to make their own decisions. As parents, we often take care of many daily responsibilities for our children without even thinking about it. Camp allows each youth to step up and realize their potential in a safe, supervised environment. Camp gives kids the chance to enjoy nature without the distractions of our digital world.\u201d<\/p>\n
