Check in will be at the garage at the entrance to the camp. Try not to arrive before noon on Friday. If you arrive late on Friday and there is no one at check in, just go set up and see us in the morning for your pass and goody bag. If arriving after noon on Saturday the rate is 1/2 of the stated cost.
There are no assigned sites. Just pick a spot and set up. there is very limited electric available.
At the top of the camping area at the basketball court, nearest to the restrooms and dinning hall, about half way down the field at the reviewing stand and at the pavilion at the right side of the beach. Electric heaters are prohibited as the circuits can not handle more than a couple and the breakers are not easily accessible. If you think you may need heat, we suggest a propane heater buddy.
4H does not allow ground fires and there are no fire rings. You may bring a raised fire pit. There is also a large fire ring at the beach.
Dogs are permitted. PLEASE be a responsible pet owner. Pick up after them. 4H requests that you keep you dog leashed, however there are ares on both sides of the 4H beach where you can let your dog run free.
The speed limit on the Island is 25 MPH. a speeding ticket on the Island will cost you more than your ferry and camping combined.
Speed limit on the 4H grounds is 5MPH. Please be aware of children playing all over the camping area. 4H asks that you use the road along the field and try to avoid driving on the field other than to get to your camping spot.

Golf carts a a great way to get around the camp and the Island. We have arranged a small discount from KI General store. Located on the right as you turn on to Division st.

Also a walk in cooler. 4H will provide breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning in the dinning hall. 4 H will also provide fire wood,however, we won't know about the supply until we arrive.
