Frederick County 4-H Camp and Recreation Center Dream
The 4-H Camp on Basford Road near Urbana moves toward reality as funds totaling about 60 000 have been paid to date with 40 000 outstanding as mortgage. Camp officials plan a pay-as-you-go approach to clear debt and develop a rustic camp, starting with a picnic grove and wide volunteer effort. A May 31 dinner at Urbana Fire Hall, with tickets 10 each, will update supporters on progress and future plans.
