The weather outside may be frightful, but warmer days are coming. Now is the time to think about summer activities like 4-H Camp. Each summer youth from Madison and Orange join together for a week of 4-H camping in the beautiful mountains just outside of Front Royal. The date for the 2009 camp is June 14– 18.
4-H camp provides educational, recreational and social experiences in outdoor living away from home. Campers stay in dorm style cabins with showers and restrooms, enjoy a small lake, Junior Olympic size swimming pool and eat family style meals. Campers meet new friends, enjoy afternoon swim time and evening campfires, but camp is so much more. Youth learn to get along with other people and take responsibility for their own decisions and actions. They have the chance to explore new interest and discover special talents. Campers interact with caring teens and adults in a friendly and positive environment.
Camp registration forms will be available at the Madison Extension Office on February 23. Camp is open to all Madison County youth ages 9 -13 (as of Sept 30, 2009). Cost to attend camp is $200. This includes lodging, meals, t-shirts, snacks, recreation and transportation to camp.

Camp Counselors Wanted
Any teens ages 14+ as of 1/1/09 are encouraged to apply to be 4-H Camp Counselors. Applications are posted at http://madison4h.pbwiki.com/, in the sidebar. Camp is a fun experience, it's great for leadership skill-building, looks good on college applications, and is another point in a different area on the 4-H All Star application.
