A Legendary Day Camp

Working Together to Bring Opportunities to Area 4-H Youth

From our friends at 4-H:
​
After months of planning, Newaygo County 4-H in partnership with Legends Ranch came together to host the first 4-H Day Camps at Legends Ranch, located in Bitely, on July 10, 11, and 12. Nearly 65 4-H youth, ages 5 – 19, from Lake and Newaygo Counties enjoyed fun-filled days of activities including fishing, archery, nature walks, fawn interactions, and leather stamping to name a few with the staff of Legends Ranch and 4-H volunteers. In addition, 4-H youth had the opportunity to tour the Wildlife Center at Legends Ranch, a 24,000 square foot facility, featuring an ever-growing collection of over 2,500 animal exhibits from all around the world. The center offers a one-of-a-kind experience to learn about the importance of wildlife and conservation.

Funding for 4-H Day Camp at Legends Ranch was made possible through a grant from the Gerber Foundation and a donation from Legends Ranch.
