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!
