THE 4-H FOREST
Originally conceived as a site for "a new 4-H forest", the scope of camp activities has expanded to include many facets of environmental education and recreation.
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
Over 85% of the total campground is set aside for the purpose of environmental education. The self-guided nature trails winds its way for nearly a mile through dense pine forest, swamp and grassland. White birch, oaks, beech and maple are surrounded in the spring by thousands of trillium accented by a sprinkling of marsh marigolds, violets and spring beauty's.
WILDLIFE
Wildlife is plentiful. Deer and woodchuck are often sighted and thrills for the birdwatchers include woodcock, warblers, owls and the rose breasted grosbeak.
RECREATION
Recreation facilities include a picnic area and shelter, playground equipment, lighted ball diamond and volleyball area.
