October 1, 2011 started out overcast, chilly and breezy. The day soon warmed up with the activities at 4-H Camp Palmers' Celebrate. The zip line, flying squirrel and climbing wall were busy all day. After lunch the young enjoyed carnival games, face painting, pumpkin decorating and getting feathers in their hair while the adults bid on auction items of camp activities, pies, cinnamon buns and much more.
Thank you to all the volunteers who made the day enjoyable for so many. Thank you to all the visitors for coming out to experience 4-H Camp Palmer.

The American Camp Association (ACA) shares our camp’s commitment to the growth of youth through the camp experience.
In 2004, an independent research firm completed the largest research study of camper outcomes ever conducted in the United States with over 3,000 families from 92 camps across the U.S. participating.
Results confirmed that camp builds many of the skills necessary to prepare campers to assume roles as successful adults. Parents, campers, and camp staff independently reported growth in areas such as self-confidence, learning new skills, getting along with others, making friends, and making healthy decisions. Indeed, camp provides growth experiences for youth that can reap results through adulthood.
