Go For Fun, Go For Adventure!

Dear Parents and Campers,The North Dakota 4-H Program has offered camping as educational experience since 1967. Programs are designed to develop life skills for safe and healthful living, enhance personal development, and provide constructive uses of leisure time. We are committed to providing a safe environment where youth can make new friends and develop new skills.

Our facilities include a main dining hall, a newly constructed educational center with showering facilities, Butler Outpost multipurpose building and three sleeping cabins, each having its own bathroom. The camp has walking trails along the Missouri River and lots of open spaces to enjoy.

Our staff members are trained in outdoor skills, science, agriculture, and human development to work with youth to ensure a high-quality experience for campers.

In addition to the planned education program, recreational opportunities are included for each camp. Campers enjoy many activities, including our walking trails, mud pit, and archery. Campers especially like the Dutch oven cooking, evening campfires, waterslide, and a dance.
