As the school year comes to a close, University of Nevada, Reno Extension’s 4-H Youth Development Program is offering overnight and day camps throughout the state to keep youth engaged, learning and having fun throughout the summer. 

Preteens and teens in southern Nevada have the opportunity to take part in three different camps at Extension’s Nevada 4-H Camp in Alamo, Nevada, located 100 miles north of Las Vegas.
