Bell County camping group and families, here are a few things to remember this weekend as you are getting your camper ready for a week filled with learning, fun, and 4-H!

Departure Day: Tuesday, June 2nd. Check-in and lice checks are from 7:45 - 8:30 am at our office. Buses will pull out no later than 9:00 am!

While at camp:
-This year's theme is Red, White, and Blue. Feel free to pack patriotic colors, stars, and stripes. We only ask that political apparel, campaign gear, and political messaging stays at home so we can keep the focus on camp, friendship, and fun.
-Camp is not only busy for our campers, but for our leaders as well! We will try to post photos throughout the week, but follow our page for a full album of memories after camp concludes.

Return Day: Friday, June 5th. We are expected to arrive at the office around 12:00 - 12:30 pm. We will post here on Facebook when we are departing from camp.
