Swimming Pool Repairs

$ 56,000 .00

The swimming pool is by far the most popular aspect of 4-H Camp Ohio. Major cracks in multiple areas of the swimming pool allowed water loss that forced the closing of the pool for the entire 2024 camping season. Total cost to make the pool useable was over $56,000. Funds raised will be used to reimburse
the general operating budget for those repairs.

New Nurses’ Station

$ 80,000 .00

A separate nurses’ station has been a priority for many years. The current arrangement, although manageable, does not provide a confidential space for camper care nor a place separate from the adult women’s staff living quarters. The new station would be attached to the Cow Palace. It would provide clinic space, separate sleeping areas for sick campers, bathroom facilities, and a separate bedroom for the nurse.

The existing nurse’s station will become adult women bedroom,s allowing for a more functional space for female volunteer staff.

New Low Ropes Course

$ 29,000 .00

Programming for campers ages 8-12 would be enhanced with a new low ropes course. The course would mimic a high ropes course, but built just a few feet off the ground. The low ropes experience would also mimic the high ropes experience, but in an environment safe for younger campers. Up to eight pods can be included in the design. A minimum of four pods would be built, with additional added when funds are available

Campbell Lodge Gathering Area Floor Replacement

Replace the current sheet vinyl floor on the main floor of Campbell Lodge.

Walk-in Freezer

$ 55,000 .00

The aging walk-in freezer will be replaced with a larger model. The replacement is necessitated by continued maintenance issues of the current freezer and a need for a larger model to provide freezer space to meet changing food delivery patterns. A larger concrete pad will be installed along with the new freezer.

Old Office Remodel for Staff Housing

$ 10,000 .00

The current office will be remodeled into summer staff housing. Additional housing for summer staff will provide much needed space. The project will entail adding a larger bathroom facility, new flooring and painting.

New Zip Line Cables

$ 7,750 .00

The zip line cables and hardware will be replaced. The current cables have reached the end of their useful life. Without replacing them, the zip line cannot be used in 2025 and would eliminate a program that engages over 1,600 youth annually.

Zero Turn Mower

$ 13,000 .00

A new long mower will be purchased to replace the 20-year-old mower camp currently uses. The new mower will help eliminate rising maintenance costs and downtime.

WiFi and P.A. System Upgrades

$ 2,000 .00

The current wifi equipment will be upgraded to provide broader coverage and a stronger signal throughout camp. Additional PA equipment will be purchased for use in the new covered basketball court.
