Stafford County 4-H members were excited to attend 4-H Camp at Rock Springs Ranch as they were celebrating 75 years of 4-H camp at Rock Springs Ranch this year. After the challenges of the last year, Rock Springs was up and running this year at 50% capacity. Stafford County was able to take their allotment of eight campers, three counselors and one extension agent this year.
4-H Camp at Rock Springs gives youth a chance to come together, learn, exercise independence, find new sparks and grow as a team. One of the exciting additions to Rock Springs this year was a new Leadership Ropes Challenge Course. Kansas 4-H Foundation and the Kansas State 4-H Youth Council challenged all 4-H Clubs to donate to the campaign “Endorse the Course.” All three Stafford County 4-H Clubs donated to this project this past year and members were excited to be able to try out the course when they attended camp.
