Jungles Rock! Lake County 4-H Day Camp

The Lake County 4-H program will be conducting a "Jungle Rocks" Day Camp for youth ages 5- to 8 years. You do not need to be a member of 4-H to attend the day camp.

What is unique about the Lake County 4-H Day Camp is that the 4-H teens design and teach the day camp along with adult support.

Youth-adult partnerships are shown to be one of the most effective ways to engage both youth and adults in meaningful activities which contribute to positive youth development. Youth involved in positive, meaningful, respectful relationships with adults have been shown to improve skills and competencies while decreasing participation in risky behaviors. When partnering with youth, adults also build skills and simultaneously strengthen the organizations to which they belong.

The "Jungle Rocks" Day Camp will have focus on learning about animals through hands on activities.
