Choose from a traditional overnight experience or one of our specialty overnight camps and make your summer spectacular at 4-H Camp Kidwell.

Campers participate in a variety of small, medium and large group co-ed activities. Campers have a chance to enjoy independence as they choose their daily routine, but also learn teamwork and cooperation as they do activities with their fellow campers and cabin mates. Campers are encouraged to try new activities, make new friends, take new challenges, and most importantly have a GREAT time!

Overnight Camp Schedule

Overnight campers are involved in as many activities as possible while still having a chance to rest and relax. Kids attend 4 one-hour, small-group sessions based upon their ranking of their favorite camp activities. Throughout the week large group activities are offered based upon the weekly theme. These whole camp activities include sports, educational programming, free-time, and theme specific programs or activities. Campfire ends each day, which allows the entire camp community to sing and settle for the night!
