OUR MISSION
The primary focus of 4-H Camp Riversite is education through recreation and nature programs and activities.
THE 4-H FOREST
Originally conceived as a site for “a new 4-H forest”, the scope of camp activities has expanded to include many facets of environmental education and recreation.
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
Over 85% of the total campground is set aside for the purpose of environmental education. The self-guided nature trails winds its way for nearly a mile through dense pine forest, swamp and grassland. White birch, oaks, beech and maple are surrounded in the spring by thousands of trillium accented by a sprinkling of marsh marigolds, violets, and spring beauties.
WILDLIFE
Wildlife is plentiful. Deer and woodchuck are often sighted and thrills for the birdwatchers include woodcock, warblers, owls and the rose-breasted grosbeak.
RECREATION
Recreation facilities include a picnic area and shelter, playground equipment, lighted ball diamond and volleyball area.
