Alpine 4-H Camp June 10th, 11th, and 12th of 2024

Campers who attended were Beckham Jones, George Ferree, Londyn Jones, Tenley Taylor, Ruby Tubbs, and McCall Clark.  Teen leaders in attendance were Waylon Ferree, Levi Balazs, Cecilee Hill, Karlie Baer, & Ester Rogers.  The camp theme was Slimy Gooey Gross.

Monday June 10th we left Malad at 7:30 am.  We arrived at camp about 11:30 am and the kids put their stuff in cabins.  We took pictures and separated into groups.  Groups went to classes including: rifle, archery, gross art, plant ID & obstacle course, worm dissection, dirt in a cup, and slim making.  The kids played games with the AmeriCorps Interns after dinner.  Following the kids participated in Karaoke and a Camp Story.  Then it was lights out.

Tuesday June 11th after breakfast kids split into their classes, took a break for lunch, and then went back to classes.  At 4:30 they participated in the carnival set up by the teen counselors.  Games included the oreo game, sponge throw, skittle move, golfball throw, Velcro darts, cup scramble, donut on a string, cup pong, shaving cream throw, water balloon toss, and the spoon race.  After dinner was the counselor hunt.  The counselor hunt is where all the teen counselors hide from the campers.  The kids then have to capture the counselors and bring them in.  It is basically a glorified hide and seek.  Kids then went to the campfire to watch the skits and sing songs directed by the teen counselors. Then it was lights out.

Wednesday June 12th after breakfast everyone cleaned up cabins and packed their gear.  Record books were finished and we had the closing ceremony.  Afterwards those who wanted to were invited to participate in a hike.  Everyone met back at the lodge for lunch.  Everyone was excused to get on their buses and travel home.  We arrived in Malad about 4:30 pm.
