4-H Camp G.R.I.T.

What is Camp G.R.I.T?: 4-H Camp G.R.I.T. is a great opportunity for youth from across Maricopa County to try new things and make great friends! The goal of 4-H Camp G.R.I.T. is simple: to create lasting memories for years to come. This camp will offer unique experiences, offer the chance to meet new friends and, will teach you a wide variety of new concepts! Learn how to lead, explore the wilderness, and enjoy amazing activities you might otherwise not have a chance to do!
The word G.R.I.T is an acronym used to define what 4-H camp is all about!
- Growing: Camp teaches you new things and helps you grow old skills.
- Reaching: Disconnects you from day-to-day life and connects you to a brand new hands-on learning environment.
- Impacting: Leaves positive impressions and memories that follow you for the rest of your life.
- Tomorrow: Prepares you to tackle any and every challenge you might face tomorrow.
