Conservation camp
The All-Ohio Junior Conservation Camp, held at 4-H Camp Palmer near Harrison Lake State Park in Fayette, Ohio is scheduled for June 8 to 11.

The popular camp is open to youths from age 8 (third grade) through 14 (finishing the eighth grade) living in the tri-state area.

This year’s theme is “Camp is UnBUGlievable,” Campers will explore how insects, trees, the environment and nature affect their daily lives. They will also have the opportunity to climb high ropes, hike, swim and canoe, along with a host of traditional camp activities including crafts, evening dances and campfire programs.

The $120 camp fee covers all program supplies for the four-day, three-night event, including meals, overnight accommodation, a t-shirt and activities.

Campers are supervised by a team of trained teen counselors, adult staff, and a nurse who is in camp throughout the week. Early registration is encouraged. The deadline to sign up is May 25.

The camp is sponsored in cooperation with the Soil and Water Conservation Districts and Ohio State University Extension offices of Northwest Ohio.
