SOUL 4-H Camp is a five-day, four-night residential camping experience that is conducted cooperatively by University of Illinois Extension staff in Unit 1 (Jo Daviess, Stephenson, and Winnebago) and Unit 2 (Boone, DeKalb, Ogle) and the staff at Camp Benson.
Campers will check-in between 6:00-6:30 p.m. on June 10 and check-out between 6:00-6:30 p.m. on June 14. During camp week, they will engage in a variety of activities designed to challenge, educate, and entertain. Two or three free choice periods will be offered daily and will include options such as: hiking, nature study, rock climbing, repelling, arts and crafts, shooting sports, tubing and kayaking on the Waukarusa River, field games, crate stacking, teambuilding challenges, camping skills, and GPS scavenger hunts. Evening activities will be provided by the teen 4-H camp counselors from the co-sponsoring counties and include campfires, a dance, and a talent show.
4-H Camp is open to all youth, ages 8-14 by June 10, 2013. 4-H membership is not required; however all participants will be expected to comply with the same high behavior standards expected of 4-Hers.
4-H Camp fees increase as camp approaches, so interested families are encouraged to sign-up quickly! Participants who register before March 1 will enjoy the low fee of $235. Those who register on or after March 1 will pay $250. A minimum $75 deposit is required with the registration form. A camper t-shirt is included in the cost. Scholarship rebates are provided for enrolled 4-H club members in some counties.
