From June 20-24, 21 counselors and 67 campers, along w ith adult staff, camp cooks, nurses and volunteers hailing from M orrow , G illia m and Wheeler counties gathered at Cutsforth Park for a fun- filled week. A few days of poor weather turned around as the week continued, and kept the enthusiastic campers going with high spirits. T h is y e a r O D FW classes teaching about fish dissection, fishing in the recently stocked pond, a Wild West table-manners class, and outdoor cooking kept the cam pers busy during their time at camp. An abundance of crafts was available this year, including tie-dye t-shirts, le a th e rc ra ft, p a in tin g birdhouses, a great 4-H paper craft and many more. O u td o o r a c tiv itie s like cap tu re the flag, a Wild West field day full o f various obstacle courses, and multiple “get acquainted” games kept everyone busy in the warm sunshine that eventually showed up. The hike was a long journey to the top, and almost everyone was able to make it to the top this year. Camp was visited by the 2013 Morrow County Fair & Rodeo Queen Krysten Powell for an afternoon of photo-booth fun. It was a great opportunity for the youth to meet a real rodeo queen—which tied nicely into the theme this year. T he e v e r - p o p u la r dance was quite the hit again and, due to a rainy evening, the dream-boats were rescheduled to the following closing morning, and w ere a q u iet and peaceful way to end the week-long activities. “Everyone went home tired and happy again this year,” says Jones, “and a great deal was learned by all.” Jones added that the camp wouldn’t have been p ossible w ithout camp Top: 4-H campers were excited to receive a visit from Morrow County Fair & Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo Queen Krysten Powell.
