Local youth head out

this week for 4-H camp

Three buses were in the parking lot at Clinton County High School Monday morning loading up before heading to Jabez, Kentucky, for the county’s annual 4-H Camp summer trip. Each year, students travel to the camp to take part in several outdoor activities including archery, canoeing, swimming, arts and crafts and many more activities.

This year, 4-H Agent Brandon Pharis said the boys’ bunk house was completely full and that’s the first time that has happened in many years. Pharis said there was a waiting list this year for spots to go to camp and he noted there were 67 students making the week-long camp vacation.

Students will return from camp around noon on Friday according to Pharis.
