4-H CAMP STAFF RIP-ROARING TO GO!!!
WOW! What great 4-H camp staffs! The 4-H camping season is off and going, and the staffs at Austin, Ellington, Ridley and York are definitely up to the task. After a weekend of training earlier this month, they are pumped up and ready for the summer. This year's staffs are energetic, enthusiastic and committed to the four priorities of safety, health, education and fun. Be ready for some intense, positive youth development this summer!
