Down on the 4-H Camp Farm: Friday

We had a hot but rewarding day at 4-H camp. 4-H Camp Friday brought us field games, swimming, volleyball, canoes on the lake, and water games.

Down on the 4-H Camp Farm: Thursday

We kicked off our 2011 Warrick County 4-H Camp on Thursday. We had great weather for our first day of camp. Our campers were kept busy with group meetings, line dancing, swimming, and getting settled into their dorms. All the campers and counselors are having fun with our "Down on the Farm" theme.

Here is a shot of 4-H camp group mixers
