What's Up for Summer 2015?

Hidden Valley 4-H Camp

It boggles my mind that Summer Camp 2014 is months behind me and that I am now in the full swing of planning for the next summer! I do believe that I have the best career on the planet – I get to think about summer and plan exciting programs for our wonderful campers all year long! It is exciting to announce the upcoming camp season programs and activities.

The first big announcement is the addition of a whole new program called Cloverbuds Day Camp! With the Cloverbuds Camp, children 5 -7 years of age will be able to attend and enjoy a full day of activities, meals and friends. Cloverbuds will run from 8:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday, starting July 6 through August 14, 2015. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served each day. Cloverbuds will have three 45 minute activity sessions in the morning and three more after lunch and rest hour. Campers will experience swim lessons, arts and crafts, nature hikes, science explorations, field sports and so much more! The cost per week is $190.00, an exceptional value for the experience and care the campers

receive. We can’t wait to see our Cloverbuds soon!

For a second year, we are partnering with Erika Eckstrom and the Painted Bar Stables. The Horseback Riding program was so popular last year that we are adding a third week. Campers will attend two full days of Riding Camp each week (Monday and Wednesday). Riding Camp will run weeks 1, 2 and 3 staring Monday, July 6. Campers will be bused to the stables after breakfast and return in the late afternoon. Each camper receives a packed lunch each day at the stables. Ms. Eckstrom wants to make sure that anyone who is riding this summer wears long pants, a fitted riding helmet and boots with a heel.
