This is a 4-H event geared to the younger 4-H members. Only hoys and girls between 9 and 13 are accepted. Older 4-H'ers have the opportunity to attend 4-11 summer school on the OSU campus in June. The development of the 4-H camp is a significant milestone in t he growth of 4-H program in (lie county. Close to ten years ago the leaders banded together and obtained an acreage in the mountains in Cutsforth park and erected a log shelter that con tains a kitchen, store room and dining area as the headquarters of the camp. Tents, cots and mattresses and kitchen equip ment were obtained from the government's surplus property division. The leaders and parents put in all this effort as they believed that every 4-H member should have the experience of camping, once in his life.

This year we've scheduled a representative from the wild life commission, Pacific Power and Light, forest service, and county health department to take part. Two cooks and two extension agents complete the staff. Over 137 applications came in for the 4-H summer camp this year. We have room for only 00, so a choice had to be made. A committee of leaders met on June 13 and made a selection. Leaders had listed on a camp sheet their members wishing to go to camp and the number of years they had gone. From this the committee chose 24 boys and 36 girls who had never been to camp before or were deserving. Older ones were selected first as they will not have a chance after they have passed 13 years. Seventeen boys and girls were selected as alternates. If regular campers had not paid their $6.50 by June 27 we will notify alternates and they will bo given the opportunity. Gilliam county will be holding camp July 8-il at Cutsforth camp and Ernie Kirsch, the county agent, has written that they will have room for ten more. If any Morrow county campers would like to apply they can come to the county agent's office and deposit a fee of $6.50. This will be on a first come, first-served basis. Ten counsellors (older 4-H members) will assist the agents in conducting the camp.
