2015 Activity Tracks

Water Safety, That’s What’s SUP! Beat the summer heat by learning the coolest new way of exploring Louisiana’s waterways—stand-up pad-dle boarding (SUP). This track will teach you how to stay safe in the water, while having fun on the water with a stand-up paddle board. Get creative by making your own seahorse out of pool noodles and chal-lenge other campers to a race in our cool pond. If in the water is your favorite place to be, then grab a pad-dle and meet us at the pond!

Get Ready, get SET - Science, Engineering & Technology Get ready, get SET…to have some fun with science, engineering and technology. The SET track will ex-plore the exciting worlds of chemistry, computers, construction, digital photography, rockets and much more. Have fun concocting crazy chemistry experiments that go pop, fizz and maybe even boom. See who can make a rocket fly the highest or farthest. Can your tower hold up against the elements? Create a slide show of your camping experience. Get ready to get SET at 4-H Camp!

Outdoor Adventures Get ready to explore the great outdoors as a participant in the Outdoor Adventures track this summer at 4-H camp. Participate in a large variety of hands-on activities like learning the proper techniques to shoot a bow; how to navigate through our pond in a kayak and canoe; and explore your inner woodsmen. So—if you are adventurous and being in the outdoors is right for you, sign up for Outdoor Adventures!

Explore Louisiana: Wetlands, Wildlife, and YOU! This summer, the wetlands track will consist of 3 days of getting down and dirty as we explore all things wetlands. We will introduce campers to what wetlands are, what they do, and why Louisiana needs them so badly. This track will be action-packed with loads of games and activities about wetlands and the plants and animals that live there; we can celebrate summer, but learn a thing or two while having fun!

Outdoor Adventures II: Wilderness Survival Experience the call of the wild with our new Wilderness Survival track. You will find your way by learning to use a compass; Build your own shelter; how to prepare for a hike; what to eat while in the wild, and more. Whether you plan on hiking or hunting, safety skills are necessary to staying out of harm's way while outdoors. Unleash your inner WILD and sign up for this new track!

Hunter’s Safety Certification Participants who are at least 10 years of age and wish to become a certified hunter will have that opportunity in this track! Top shooters will have a chance to return to camp to test their skills against other top marksmen statewide in archery and rifle.
