Evening activities include campfires, a games night and a dance.
The cost is $300 for 4-H members and $320 for non-members until Wednesday, March 1. The prices then will increase to $350 for 4-H members and $320 for non-members. All camp fees must be paid in full by Monday, May 15. Slots for boys’ and girls’ cabins will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
