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<p>If you are interested in this camping experience for your child or for more information on 4-H, please contact the Carbon County 4-H office at 570-325-2788.
