We love to sing at Camp 4-H!

About:

  • Music has always been an important part of 4-H Camp. Whether it be songs at Council Fire, on the way to the waterfront, Cabin Night, or at meal time.

  • While the practice of song continues to be an important part of who we are as a camp, it is also juxtaposed with the other core values such as progress, change, and inclusion.

  • While the historical songs used at meal times have been retired, we still to this day continue this tradition with the Underwear song, which helps us achieve the balance of song and community as well as inclusion, progress, and change.
