This great opportunity for 4-H youth in grades eight through twelve. Many teens are looking for fun camping opportunities so here is a perfect opportunity that they can come to and not have to go through a selection process. They can just come and have fun!
Open to 8th-12th grade 4-H members, Carving New Ideas is a camping opportunity for older youth, concentrating on the principles of critical thinking and program facilitation. This year’s theme is CSI at CNI. All the fun will center around mystery and investigation while enhancing leadership skills.
