Cloverleaf Camp at Rock Eagle 4-H Center 2007

Camden County 4-H attended Rock Eagle 4-H Center in Eatonton, GA from July 9 – 13, 2007 for 4-H Summer Camp.  112 campers, teen leaders, adult volunteer leaders, and 4-H staff enjoyed a week of fun and learning.  Activities included learning about the native history and culture of the area, animals, plants, lake ecology, and also participating in various recreational activities including archery, canoeing, sailing, raft building, putt-putt, softball, kickball, swimming, wet games, and dances.  The evenings at Rock Eagle included a special presentation by Native American’s about their culture and history, a counselor led variety show, and the Tribal Pageant portraying this history of the Rock Eagle. The campers from Camden County were members of the Muskogee Tribe and assisted the tribe in winning Pageant Games and the Tribal Shield for the week.   While at camp the 4-H’ers had the special treat of seeing Frankie Porter, a former Camden County 4-H’er, as a Tribal Council Mico and the leader to the waterfront activities.

Special thanks to Woodbine Steering Committee, Woodbine Better Home Town Association, anonymous donors from Sugarmill Elementary School, and the Rock Eagle Baker’s Trust Scholarship that provided 13 camp scholarships to individuals that could not afford the camp registration fee. The Baker’s Trust Scholarship also required participation in a district 4-H activity in the 2006 – 2007 school year. Donations are needed to help provide scholarships for next years camping season.
