4-H Camp Ohio, the 4-H camp serving youth from Ada and Hardin County 4-H, is raising money for a restroom renovation campaign.
The current restroom facility, which was constructed over 50 years ago, has limited privacy and is not compliant with the American Disabilities Act (ADA.)
Approximately 8,000 youth and adults camp annually at 4-H Camp Ohio. These user groups are primarily from 4-H and school groups. In addition, 4-H Camp Ohio provides a retreat and workshop setting for civic organizations, businesses, scout groups, family reunions and others.

Ada football fan Dee Klingler, is an icon - excuse the term, but, it's true - at Ada High School home football games. Here she is during Friday's pregame. The Icon also shares several additional sideline informal photographs from Friday in the next series of pictures. (We love the purple and gold.)
