Because of Camp from the perspective of a few famous people!

 

Ohio 4-H Adaptive Adventures Camp

“4-H is for everyone,” but sometimes accessibility issues deny youth with unique abilities the opportunity to attend camp. In Ohio, a statewide 4-H camp is held at Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp in Jackson, Ohio for young people who have needs that cannot be accommodated for in a traditional camp and their caregivers. Being a typical kid is what Camp is all about and it is no different for youth with unique needs. Our goal is to give Campers a true experience of Camp while meeting their needs and letting them set their own pace for fun and success! 

If you would like more information about attending or supporting Adaptive Adventures Camp at Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp, please contact Michelle Stumbo, Camp Program Director, at 740-691-6010 or Stumbo.5@osu.edu.
