The 2013 “Wild, Wild
West” 4-H Camp was a
great success this year,
reports OSU Extension
agent Ashley Jones.
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
