The Lake Cumberland 4-H
Camp and the Kentucky Leadership
Center have recently merged to form
the Lake Cumberland 4-H Educational
Center. Camp Pictures
The idea originated from a trip that Joyce Belcher, the director of the
center, made to the Arkansas 4-H
Center.“They were one entity,” she
said. “The 4-H kids could enjoy the conference center and the center’s the
guests could enjoy the 4-H camp.”
The center has finished its adopt a room campaign and has recently
updated to a keyless entry system. On
December 10th, the Center is hosting a
Traditional Country Christmas event.
Tickets for the event go on sale in
October.
