WAMIC — On June 12-13, the Sherman County 4-H Day Camp was held at the Camp Morrow lakeside facility in Wamic. Thirty campers just finishing grades four through six participated in the two-day camp, with nine teen councilors and 11 adult staff and instructors giving the campers an active, education and fun outdoor experience on the Pine Hollow Reservoir.
According to a press release, the campers enjoyed a wide variety of activities including from-scratch snacks and meals each day, tie dying t-shirts, flagpole and campfire singing, leathercraft, camp crafts, field game competition, a dance party, smores, archery, swimming, boating on the waterfront and more.Â
Despite the bus getting a flat tire that resulted in campers missing morning classes, the group was able to participate in the second day of outdoor science and archery. Instructors included Deanna Christiansen of Sherman County Prevention, Marylou Martin and Scott Susi of local county Soil & Water Conservation districts, Laurie Wilhite from Washington State, and Todd Williver of OSU state shooting sports program, said the press release.
Adult staff serving were Bridget Whitaker as cook, Jeremy Lanthorn as photographer/bus driver, Cathy Musick as counselor director and Cindy Brown of the Sherman County 4-H office as camp director.
The natural resource-based camp was funded in part by the Sherman County 4-H Association, Sherman County Soil & Water Conservation District, Sherman County Prevention, Sherman County Education Foundation, OSU Sherman County Extension, private donations, and camper fees.
