  • Campers discovered the world of critters and bugs at a recent 4-H Day Camp on July 18. Rain caused the location to move from Park Osagi on Lake Osakis, but it didn't put a damper on the kids' fun. As they learned about "creepy crawlies," day campers eagerly explored the bugs. Throughout the day, they made a huge web (pictured), spiders and butterflies and played games. Inside the web, campers ate lunch and read books from the Douglas County Library. The next day camp, set for August 1 in Evansville, will explore life on a farm. For more information, call the Douglas County Extension Office at (320) 762-3890. (Contributed photo)<br /><br />
