DEVIL'S LAKE CAMPOUT
Friday, July 6, 7, 8
Organizational Committee: Todd Harris, Mischa Miller

Even though the Stepping Stones 4-H Club is finalizing it's 3rd year, this is actually an annual event that dates back 7 years when the Miller family belonged to it's first 4-H club (now disbanded)  What began as a 1 day nature & photo hike  to our family's favorite spot on earth, picnic & swim, has turned into a 3 day family outing to nurture the souls of some 50 "fair-wearied" bodies.  The event has gotten bigger & better every year.  This year we have expanded the reservation to cover the weekend after Independance Day Holiday, paid for by the club's funding.  We are looking forward to this years many experiences.

LOCATION
We have Group Campsite #1, located on the beautiful South shore of Devil's Lake.  It is very secluded although there are a couple other Group sites located in our 'loop".Within the loop, there is a playing field and restroom facilities.  Shower facilities are located at the beach and we will be making nightly visits there.  There is no electricity but a couple trailors will be there with generators.  It is the same site we had last year and everyone enjoyed it
