Millstone 4-H camp offers Camp Corral

This summer, Millstone 4-H Camp will host three weeks (sessions) of camping. North Carolina 4-H has piloted Camp Corral at Millstone last summer for Golden Corral Corporation. It was so well-received franchise owners and company stores are taking Camp Corral nationwide.
North Carolina 4-H has worked with Golden Corral to find 4-H camps in seven states and a Y-Camp and CSU site in Colorado to host additional camps this summer. Check out its website at www.campcorral.org. Camp Corral is for 8- to 15-year-olds in military families. Top priority is given to children of wounded, disabled or fallen veterans or service members. Others are placed on each camp’s waiting list and will be moved into slots beginning 60 days prior to each camp’s start date.
Camp Corral is open to military families of all branches of the service, including National Guard and Reserves. The cost of camp is around $400 at each site and is paid in full by Golden Corral. Parents are responsible for transportation to and from camp.
Diners at area Golden Corral restaurants during April and May will notice the marketing for Camp Corral and may make a $1 donation to help send a deserving kid to camp.
