The Cascade Lake 4-H Camp has received a grant of $2500 from the Idaho Community Foundation for capital improvements at the camp to make improvements to American Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility at the facility.

The Cascade Lake 4-H Camp will use the grant money to help make accessibility improvements to the Health Lodge, dock entry, camper cabins and pathways to activities at the camp. This will allow campers of all abilities to better use the camp facility.

Since 1965 the Cascade Lake 4-H Camp’s mission has been to provide a safe, comfortable facility at a reasonable price for youth and families of all capabilities to experience the opportunity of healthy recreation in a natural environment. 4-H youth from nine counties in the southwest Idaho district use the facility each summer. The camp also serves school groups, military youth and families, church groups, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, sport groups, family reunions and social groups. The Camp is located in Donnelly, Idaho.

“The monies from the Southwestern Region Greatest Need Fund in the Idaho Community Foundation make it possible to make more of the accessibility improvements needed at the 4-H Camp this summer,” stated Kathy Lauer, Camp Board President. “We really appreciate the Idaho Community Foundations help in making the facility better for all youth attending camps.”

Last year, the Cascade Lake 4-H Camp received several donations from United Way donors. It is a simple process to direct your donation to the 4-H Camp.
