The 4-H Great Lakes and Natural Resources Camp offers great outdoor hands-on learning experiences for students 13-15 years old. The annual camp runs for one week and is held in late July or early August on the northern shores of Lake Huron in Presque Isle, MI. You don’t need to be a 4-H member to attend.

Have fun outdoors

Campers can do things like explore dunes, hike through forests, and wade through wetlands or fish, snorkel, and sail on Lake Huron — all while learning about their surroundings from natural resource professionals, teachers, and science researchers.
