Abstract

     Camp WILD is a midlands region overnight 4-H summer camp that has been around for about seven years. It started with Lancaster and Chester counties and has now grown to include Fairfield, Union, and Newberry. The 4-H Agents in these counties work together to provide this opportunity for area youth. Camp WILD is open to boys and girls ages 8 to 14 for a cost of $80 each. It is currently being held at Chester State Park in Chester where there are tent camp sites, picnic shelters, a bath house, a small lake, hiking trails, open grassy fields, and access to a nearby community pool. Youth enjoy tent camping and other hands-on activities such as fishing, canoeing, shooting sports, rocketry, animal and insect identification, wildlife lessons, swimming, and much more. The flyer for 2014 Camp WILD was created in Microsoft Publisher using past pictures. It is being distributed via email as a pdf file and as a printed color flyer to locations that serve potential campers such as schools, churches, 4-H clubs, and other locations. In additions to information targeted at parents and potential campers, the flyer includes information for potential sponsors and a preliminary registration form.
