4-H Members Backpack to Cottonwood Lake, Thanks to JVCF

The Madison Jefferson Extension Office received a grant from the Jefferson Valley Community Foundation to purchase backpacking kits to take 4-H members on a backpacking trip.

The Extension Office took six kids and five adult volunteers on an overnight trip to Cottonwood Lake. While at the campsite, the kids learned about knife safety, emergency fire building, emergency wilderness shelter building, safe food storage in the woods, and how to pack a horse. The kids had an absolute blast and can't wait to go again next year!
