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.

$
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

New Zip Line Cables
