2016 4-H Camp Detour Information

June 28 2016January 11, 2018

Dear 4-H members and parents,

We hope you’re excited about 4-H Camp this week and we look forward to seeing you at camp tomorrow Wednesday June 29th. We recently became aware of a major road closure on State Route 514 south of Nashville, which is on the way to camp. So listed below is important detour information that we hope makes your trip to and from Camp easier.

The 4-H Camp Ohio address is: 11461 Camp Ohio Rd, St Louisville, OH 43071

Here is a link to a map and driving directions to 4-H Camp Ohio.

To avoid the SR 514 closure just south of Nashville, Ohio….

Head West on SR 39 out of Nashville for 3 miles.
Turn left on County Rd 22, (just before Haudenschild Insurance)
Travel on County Rd 22 3.6 miles
Turn right on SR 514 and proceed toward Danville.

As a reminder registration at camp is from 3-3:30 pm. Pick up from Camp is on Sunday July 3rd at 10 am. Parents are also welcome to attend the closing ceremonies on Sunday at 9:30 am.

Should you need to access the Camper Confirmation Letter, Packing List, Health Form or other documents – they are all available on our website at: http://wayne.osu.edu/camp

We will be posting some occasional updates on our Wayne County 4-H Facebook Page and the 4-H Camp Ohio Staff occasionally post updates on the Camp Ohio facebook page as well.

Thanks,

Doug
