He is a role model and enjoys sharing his time and expertise with youth from all socio-economic backgrounds. “I came to the county 4-H office to tell them what scouting could offer. I was invited to the next county 4-H advisory committee. After the first meeting I realized that 4-H was a program that I wanted to work with,” Camp said. Camp has volunteered for more than 50 years in various organizations including the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-H and his church.
