Camp is "the place where new memories are made," offering the chance to develop increased self-confidence and independence, make new friends, learn new skills, and experience the wonders of nature. There are a wide range of programs, designed for various ages and interests:

"CAMPERSHIPS" ARE AVAILABLE TO HELP FAMILIES PAY CAMP FEES.
Thanks to an annual grant from the Kiwanis Club of Cleveland and additional support from several other sources, a limited amount of "camperships" are offered by Cuyahoga County 4-H for families needing help in offering this valuable opportunity to their son or daughter. An early response and evidence of need are primary considerations, although additional awards may also become available later to more families.
