Bail your county out of jail with a donation to support Cascade Lake 4-H Camp! Each county in our district is competing to raise funds for camp. When you purchase tickets to the event, be sure to also donate to your county’s bail fund. We hope to see you at the event, but if you are unable to attend, you can still contribute to a “bail fund” and make a donation to support camp.

The event will also feature a limited silent auction, family-friendly games, and an opportunity to visit the historic Idaho State Penitentiary after hours. A delicious Dutch oven dinner and beverages will be provided by Vallivue 4-H.
