I went here as a 4th grader. The camp is awful, It’s been over five years but I still remember it vividly. (This is my experience on the overnight trip) First off, They don’t have water bottles for kids. You have to drink barley filtered lake water from the water fountains, it tasted disgusting.

North Central 4-H Camp is one of my favorite...
