There
is a "secret" place within Jefferson County that has been enriching
the lives of youth for more than 50 years. Just 30 minutes north of Watertown,
4-H Camp Wabasso is a secluded treasure that allows kids to enjoy the
natural environment while in the company of friends both new and old.
From
the time the sun rises until after sunset, activities abound. Children may
swim in picturesque Millsite Lake, frolic on the sandy beach, play volleyball
or a game of kickball on the recreation field.
There are nature trails, educational
activities, songs by the campfire, and challenges provided by both low and
high ropes courses. Kids sleep in rustic cabins, eat great camp food in the
dining hall, and generate memories to last a lifetime.
4-H Camp Wabasso's summer camping program is open to kids ages
6 to 16.

Day Camp
During our traditional overnight camping weeks 4-H Camp Wabasso also offers a day camp option. Children may participate in all daytime activities during their camp week and return home at the end of each day. Parents are responsible for transporting their children to and from camp.
We're sorry - bus transportation for day campers will not be available during the 2007 camp season.
