2023 4-H Camp:

Base Camp at Kamp Kenwood & Outpost Camp Lake Wissota

Camp is going to look a little different this year. As in not the “Covid different”, but the Seth is not a first year rookie different! So, there will be two camps! One camp will be hosted at Kamp Kenwood for grades 3-6. The second camp will be an outpost camp located at Lake Wissota Campgrounds for grades 7-9. We will be partnering up with Eau Claire and Dunn County again. Both camps will be from June 7-10, 2023. Youth that are in 9th-13th grade can sign up as camp counselors.

We are currently looking for camp counselors. If you or your youth have not been a camp counselor before and want to apply please click on the “New Counselor” link. If you or your youth have been a counselor in the past please click on the “Returning Counselor” link.
