It was eleven years ago when Arlene Boileau
herself. "I used to do all the cooking and
running around back then" says Arlene. "The
kids used to help with the cooking and other
camp chores." Wednesday, July 29, at 7:30
a.m., Arlene sits and visits with Effie Culpus
(camp elder) patiently waiting for the boys
and the girls to get done with their morning
sweat. In the early morning air, you can smell
fresh coffee and toast being prepared by the
cooks. Before long, kids start lining up for
what waits for them at the breakfast table,
some of that good camp cooked breakfast.
OSU Extension 4-H camp started on Sunday,
July 26, and will continue through August 1.
The camp is again set up at Peters Pasture.
All volunteer's and OSU Extension staff
members were busy the week before
preparing to care for 75 enrolled 2nd and 8th
grade kids.
Fire and Safety staff were also at hand
training volunteers and staff members basic
first aid and CPR. This year's 4-H camp will
again include a culture sweat lodge, arts and
crafts, all day hiking to Trout lake, Boulder
lake and Harvey lake. The last day at camp the
young participants and camp staff will have
the chance to enjoy a salmon bake on August
1, starting at noon.
