Mark your calendars !  June 26th to July 2nd, 2011 at the historic Camp Seeley in Crestline, California will be the site for the 79th annual Summer Camp program rich with history and tradition that dates back to the 1930's.  Any youth enrolled in 4-H between the ages of 8 and 19 as of January 1st, 2011 is eligible to attend the 4-H Summer Camp.  If you are not currently enrolled in 4-H, you can do so today via your local 4-H County Office.  There is an additional $15.00 charge to enroll in 4-H.  Camp Seeley is located in the San Bernadino Mountains above San Bernadino at 4,200 feet elevation.

Why is 4-H Summer Camp so inexpensive ?  At $275 we offer a great Camp experience that is well organized that includes room and board for six nights and seven days.  Most comparable camps charge much more.  4-H camp is a non-profit program and is supported entirely by the staff, adult volunteers, leaders, resource people and kitchen staff that are 4-H members and volunteers.  The only exception is the Camp Nurses who are fully licensed, experienced and on site full time.

L.A. County 4-H Summer Camp is an Accredited Camp by the American Camping Association (ACA) and offers the following activities daily: nature, handicrafts, ping pong, basketball, swimming, hiking, fishing, volleyball, horseshoes and more.  Each evening after flag lowering we light a fire in the firecircle, sing traditional camp songs and are entertained by a different event each night.  Past evening programs have included, Team Games, Talent Show, Haunted Walk, Movie Night, Graduation Ceremony and the Dance.  About 200 children attended the 2010 4-H Summer Camp and nearly one-third of the participants were from the Operation Military Kids (OMK) 4-H program located on several Southern California military bases.

Adults over the age of 21 are welcome to serve as Chaperones at no cost.  However, there are additional forms required.  Call Keith Nathaniel at 323-260-3845 for more information.  With so many activities and a full schedule the week at 4-H Camp goes by quickly.  Reserve your spot today with a non-refundable $50 deposit.
