ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Boys and girls ages 8-15 (as of Jan. 1, 2018) residing in Lehigh County are invited to attend 4-H Camp. 4-H Camp is a part of the beautiful Seven Mountains Scout Camp in Spring Mills, Pa. 4-H programs from all over eastern Pennsylvania use the facility throughout the summer. The Lehigh County camp week will be shared with youth from Carbon, Lehigh, Northampton, Monroe and Schuylkill counties.
4-H Camp, June 25-29, will be a fun week. What do we do at camp? Meet new people, learn about nature, learn new songs and games, make a craft, get challenged paddle boarding, kayaking or playing human foosball, participate in campfires, swim at the pool and a lot more fun. Join us as “A New Spirit Awakens.”
Registration deadline is May 14. The link to register for camp is https://extension.psu.edu/4-h/seven-mountains.
The $330 fee (for non-4-H members) covers lodging, meals, medical insurance, craft supplies and activities.
