The 4-H International Elementary School and 4-H Multicultural Middle School summer camps will be held August 9-13 at the Oregon 4-H Conference and Education Center in Salem. Designed for Latino and underserved youth in third through eighth grades, the camp focuses on helping youths improve academic skills, develop leadership skills and participate in healthy physical activities.

  • Natural resources (forestry, water quality, wildlife, agriculture).

  • Physical activities (soccer, volleyball, basketball, swimming, canoeing).

The cost is $350. Scholarship information is available in OSU Extension County offices.
