Canter’s Cave Open House
Looking for a great field trip, look no further. Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp will be holding an open house
on May 7 from 12:00 – 4:00 p.m. This is a good opportunity for 4-H Advisors, club members and parents to come and see our wonderful facility and enjoy a day at camp. Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp offers campers a great chance to learn, develop life shills and form attitudes that will help them to
become self-directing and productive members of society. Camp becomes a learning laboratory that allows youth to apply their new knowledge to real-life situations. Since the Camp Day is even longer than a school day, learning continues around the clock and is more intensive. Campers also make new friends from Highland County as well as surrounding counties and have lots of fun. To see
more about camp visit: https://www.facebook.com/CantersCave
