We are excited to announce that this year’s Northwinds Junior 4-H Camp (for ages 8-13 as of Jan. 1st) will be held from June 14-17, 2011, at Camp Penuel in Eldred, PA. Northwinds Camp serves Elk, Jefferson, McKean, and Potter Counties and 4-H membership is not required. The camp is a modern facility with a cabins and lots of outdoor spaces. An exciting and fun-filled time has been planned.

Discover what it means to be a Northwinds Camper! Youth will have the opportunity to take part in daily events, workshops and leisure activities. Campers will be able to try new activities, learn new games and make new friends.

On Wednesday night it is Talent Night, a special event held each year. Campers - this is your opportunity to show off your skills and talents. We encourage each camper to participate. If you need any special props, instruments or music you must bring it with you to camp.

As always, Northwinds camp offers the traditional activities. These include swimming, canoeing, a last night dance, campfires and more. Campers have the opportunity to make friends with 4-H'ers from five different counties. The camp is staffed with teen counselors, adult volunteers, and professional extension staff.
