A big thank you to everyone who came out to our open house! Rain and shine everyone was a great sport and enjoyed all the activities and hiking! And a special thank you to the volunteers! We could not have done it without you! If you'd like to add more pictures of all the fun you had, we'd love to see them! Stay tuned for more opportunities for an open house or volunteer weekend!

Some cool things planned for this Summer!

We’ve got some exciting news to share!

Four Rivers 4-H Camp and Wild West 4-H Camp are coming together to create something new — Wild Rivers 4-H Camp. By combining our camps, we’re able to offer two separate weeks of summer camp magic: one in June and one in August.

More opportunities for youth, more memories to be made, and the same great 4-H camp experience you know and love.

Be sure to follow our new page, Wild Rivers 4-H Camp, to stay up to date on details and registration information. We can’t wait for summer!
