Outpost Camp

For 7th & 8th Graders

2018 4-H Outpost Camp (7th-8th grade, as of the 2017-2018 school year)

August 12-15, 2018

At outpost camp you will enjoy a variety of fun camp activities planned by Outpost Camp’s youth and adult staff.

River Canoe: This camp will canoe down the Wisconsin River from Juneau County Park to Upham Woods. This outpost is a bit strenuous and a good introduction to adventure camping. Participants will be required to walk up to one mile, portage equipment, paddle an overall distance of about 12 miles and utilize pit toilets or wilderness bathroom techniques.

Adventure: During the camp, you will also do some hiking on uneven terrain and swimming. There is a required swim test given at camp before campers can participate in any water activities. A lifeguard is present during all water activities.

Teamwork: Youth will get to challenge your ability to work well in teams throughout camp, whether setting up and moving camp sites, cooking group dinner over the campfire or paddling on the Wisconsin River.

Nature: You will experience the many natural wonders in and around camp, including the Upper Dells sandstone cliffs and lush, green forests, the Wisconsin River, and Blackhawk Island (a state designated Nature Area). You will actively explore this natural world and have the opportunity to reflect on your role in preserving our environment for future generations.

As part of the nature focus, you may have the opportunity to visit Devil’s Lake State Park, on our way up to camp on Sunday.

U pham Woods 4-H Camp is an outdoor learning center located along the

banks of the beautiful Wisconsin River. The camp is owned and operated by the Wisconsin 4-H program, and offers numerous areas for indoor and outdoor learning.

For Outpost Camp, campers and staff will be staying in tents along the Wisconsin River. Campers will stay in groups of 2-3 campers of the same gender per tent. Tents are provided by the camp. Outpost campers are served nutritious, family style meals, prepared by the campers at the campsite.

An adult volunteer trained in first aid and CPR will be on staff and will handle health and safety needs, and administer medications for youth under the age of 14. The Dells-Delton EMS Squad is ready to handle any emergencies. All campers are provided accident insurance.

The camp staff will consist of 2 adult volunteers, and 1 Upham Woods staff member, who together will serve as chaperones, role models, and activity directors for camp. All of the adult volunteers are enrolled 4-H leaders and have completed the youth protection process. Our ratio of campers to staff is no more than 8 to 1.
