Potter County youth at the 2022 Northwinds 4-H Camp

Summer camps across the state are preparing for a season of hands-on and engaging programs designed for youth of all ages. The Potter County 4-H program is no different. Counselors and staff are currently working on creating and preparing for their busiest season of the year, which includes Northwinds residential camp.

Northwinds 4-H Camp provide a safe environment for building communication, self-esteem, and healthy habits while challenging 4-H members to grow in a variety of ways, push themselves to their full potential, and learn outside of their comfort zone daily. 4-H camp is an outstanding place for youth of all ages to continue to grow as an individual and have an engaging experience surrounded by caring adults who genuinely care about camper experience. Youth at Northwinds participate in a variety of hands-on activities, including food science, crafts, and swimming. While the camp experience for each participant is unique, the life skills, positive youth development opportunities, and friendships created will remain the same.

Registration for the 2023 Northwinds 4-H Camp will be opening soon on zSuites, the 4-H enrollment system. Camp will be taking place at Camp Penuel East in Eldred, PA from June 20-23, 2023. All youth between the ages of 8-13 as of January 1^st are eligible to attend. Cost to participate is $200, with scholarships available to Potter County 4-H members at the Extension Office.
