The 44th Annual Range Youth Camp will be held June 9-13, 2008,
at the State 4-H Camp in Halsey.  All youth at least 14 but not over 18 by
October 1, 2007, can attend camp. Campers usually have a wide variety
of experience with range management, and everyone
has a great time and make lots of new friends.

Range camp provides hands-on experience with rangeland resources.
Campers learn to identify range plants and range sites, judge range condition,
and determine stocking rates. Other topics include livestock health and
handling,range improvements, geology, and wildlife.

Crew competitions are held for a variety of activities including water relays,
canoe races, scavenger hunts, range judging, and plant identification.
During the tour of a local ranch, campers participate in a range judging contest
and a “ranch rodeo.” A steak fry and dance top off the week.

Awards are given to the top crew, top returning camper, top first-year camper,
and runner-up. The top 10 campers are also recognized.  Awards include a plaque,
belt buckles, and plant identification books. The top 10 campers are eligible to compete
for a trip to the international SRM meetings held each year (in January or February).
