An Illinois 4-H camp is marking a major milestone— 75 years of summer memories.
To celebrate, Illinois 4-H is inviting past campers, friends, and alumni to gather at the 4-H Memorial Camp in Monticello on July 19th.
The camp’s assistant director says that the milestone is more than just an anniversary; it is a homecoming.
Festivities will include an open house with a guided tour, a catered dinner, and a campfire.
For 75 years, the camp has provided summer experiences like swimming, boating, archery, and STEM challenges for kids.
