GALESBURG Families will have the chance to create new memories as they experience 4-H Memorial Camp together this summer as 4-H unveils a new Family Camp model for 2021. Families will have the opportunity to stay together in cabins while experiencing outdoor adventures and activities throughout their stay.
“While safety is our first priority, we knew we wanted the camp to be used in some capacity this summer,” says Andy Davis, University of Illinois Extension 4-H Memorial Camp director. “All of the things that make camp great like outdoor adventures, hiking, boating, and swimming are just as fun socially distanced once we flipped to a family camp model.”
