With the state of the economy, many families may find it necessary to re-evaluate their vacation plans this summer. One alternative is family camping at one of the Northern Illinois 4-H camps. A family can live in a cabin or in their own tent or camper Meals are prepared by the camp kitchen staff and served in a dining hall so parents can enjoy their vacations A camp-program staff, in­ cluding a nurse, will be on duty at all times to supervise educational activities, such as nature hikes and campfire programs, and to teach crafts, swimming, canoeing, rafting, volleyball and other sports. The program provides plenty of free time so every member of the family can "do his own things," whether fishing, sunbathing or reading. Since no camping gear is required and the fees include meals, lodging, and equipment, family camping is an economical vacation. Camp sites and the dates of family camping are: White Eagle 4-H camp, Adeline, Illinois, off Highway 72, south west of Kockford-June 10-12. June 24-26. and Shaw-waw-nas see 4-H canrifc). near Kankakee Kiver state park, off Highway 102, west of Kankakee-June 24- 26 and July 1-4.
