Students from three counties attend annual 4-H camp Students from Morrow, Gilliam and Wheeler counties attended the annual Tri-County 4-H camp. Morrow, Gilliam and Wheeler counties hosted the annual Tri-County 4-H camp June 13-17 at Cuts- forth Park. The camp is de- signed for fourth- through sixth-graders from the three counties and is facilitated by the county agents from those counties. Although it is a 4-H camp, students are not re- quired to be 4-H members to attend. The hope for the camp is to inspire the kids to move forward in their 4-H experience by gen- erating excitement. This particular camp is in its 30 th year and hosted 71 students, with 38 of those from Mor- row County. Twenty-two volunteer counselors assisted with the students who are housed in big white tents at the park. Tent groups include one to two counselors and four to six campers. There were nine girls tents and six boys tents this year. Counselors are trained to help facilitate the camp. With donated funds, the Morrow County 4-H program was able to Kevin Payne, Assistant District Manager and Natural Resource Specialist for Morrow Soil and Water Conservation District, helped 4-H members dissect trout at the annual Tri-County 4-H Camp held at Cutsforth Park. Payne talked students through dissection, parts and the reason we look at the insides of fish. purchase 14 new canvas tents to use at the 4-H camp this year. The camp includes workshops, projects, team building, goals and activ- ities. The public is invited to contact Erin Heideman at the extension office if they have a skill and would be willing to teach it to the students at camp next year.
