Volunteer counselors—both adults and older teens—are needed to go with Logan County 4-H Club members to West Kentucky 4-H Camp at Dawson Springs. Logan’s turn to go this year is earlier than usual, June 1-4.

Logan County took 111 campers last year, which is about the maximum number we are allocated.

Adult counselors (18 and over, often much older) are needed as well as Teen Counselors (ages 16-17). Needed are three more male adults, four more female adults, and six or more teens.

To volunteer or for more information, contact 4-H Youth Development Agent Maci Venable at maci.venable@uk.edu or call her at 270-726-6323.
