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.
Note: This is part of the Icon's feature series on Ada service clubs.

While members of the Rotary Club of Ada may not have traveled to El Salvador or Zambia, they have played a role in bringing needed medical equipment and supplies to these countries.
Through a program known as MESA (Medical Equipment and Supplies Abroad) Rotarians in the northwest Ohio District 6600 have collected and distributed everything from ambulances to wheelchairs to countries in Central America and Africa.
