Our Junior team, consisting of Charlie A, Nellie Rose K., and Charlotte S. won 1st place in the Open Contest while our Senior team, consisting of Paili D., Mia C., Mary Elizabeth K., and Sydney C. are the 2026 State 4-H Horse Judging Champions!

We had such an amazing time at Junior Camp! So many of our campers won service and spirit awards - we are so proud of them for helping others and keeping the camp spirit all week! AND, the top two riflemen during the rifle tournament were our Williamson County boys! Thank you campers and teens for a WONDERFUL camp week!

Had a super fun dance to cap off a super fun day at camp last night 😎 Then led flag raising to kick off our last full day! Great job to Zoe for leading the pledge for us all and Will Z. for leading the 4-H pledge!

S’mores, Minute to Win It, and some fun camp songs were the perfect way to end an awesome day at camp! Wednesday, here we come! 💪

Couldn’t be more perfect weather for camp!

First activity session of the day after getting everything unloaded and unpacked! Ready for an awesome week at camp! 🏕️
