The 4-H Camp committee is busy working on making the 2008 camp another great expe- rience for Columbia County 4- H members. June 15-18 have been selected for the annual 4- H Summer Camp, held at Camp Kiwanilong on the North Coast. Because of the unusual number of snow days and win- ter weather that Columbia County has experienced, the committee is aware that some schools may still be in session during the camp. Hopefully, by knowing the dates of camp early enough, parents and teachers will be able to work out student sched- ules so that the largest number of youth will be able to attend the summer camp. Mark your calendars now and begin preparing your fourth through seventh graders for the 2008 4-H Summer Camp. Reg- istration forms will be distrib- uted through the schools, as in years past.
