A word from the 4-H Camp Director
Hello to everyone that was part of this years 4-H summer camp. (our Counselors, Campers, Chaperones and 4-H staff) I know that this years camp experience was not what you all expected it to be but everyone’s health and safety was and will always be our first priority!
I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to all of our Counselors who preformed above and beyond anything that they could have been totally prepared for in real time. They kept the Campers calm and occupied up to the moment of evacuation and I am so very proud of each and every one of them for how well they worked together during that time. Thank you!
To Rita Palmer from our 4-H office who was the first one to see the smoke and informed me which gave us more time to evaluate our situation and plan and execute our evacuation to keep everyone safe and accounted for. Thank you!
To our adult Chaperones who did everything needed of them to help us make our departure organized, they also did a great job keeping our Campers and Counselors calm and safe during the transporting of them out of camp in a timely manner to our staging location. Thank you!
To our Camper Parents that showed up at camp to help us evacuate after seeing the smoke from the valley floor and calling the 4-H office. Thank you!
To Linda at the 4-H office who did a fantastic job of keeping everyone informed about what was going on and to where our staging area would be so the Campers and Counselors could be picked up by their parents or family. Thank you!
To our Campers, we were so looking forward to giving you all the best overnight camp experience you’ve ever had and the few days you spent at camp was only a small part of what the counselors had planed for you. More games, campfire skits, field rec, water games, DJ party, vespers, clover ceremony, getting their camp awards and the closing of camp.
To our Camper Parents, you should all be very very proud of how well your kids did during that very difficult time at camp. They stayed as calm as they could considering what was going on and helped support each other as we put together our ride list. Please let them know how proud everyone, myself-counselors-chaperones- 4-H staff and nurse are of them.
Thank you!
