Registration due June 1. Ohio 4-H Special Needs Camp is held at Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp with the support of a 4-H Foundation grant. The facility is in Jackson County, Ohio, just south of Chillicothe. Each summer, we offer a camping experience for youth aged 8-adult who have unique needs that cannot be accommodated in a traditional camp setting. We typically have a small group of between 15-25 campers and their caregivers who spend the weekend doing all the normal camp things, modified for their needs.
This year, Camp will be June 9-11. Camper registration forms, along with some pictures and additional information about the event, are online at this site: https://4hcanterscave.osu.edu/home/experience-it/special-needs-camp
