On Saturday,  members of the Buckeye Jr. Farmers 4‐H Club, Ellis County, traveled to Rock Springs Ranch (near Junction City)  for 48 hours of 4‐H. 

48 Hours of 4‐H challenges 4‐H clubs to give back to their communities by helping with service projects and this year it was Saturday and Sunday.

While at Rock Springs Ranch, the group raked leaves on a trail to help maintain the trail.

After their work was finished, the group was treated to lunch and an amazing tour of the facilities including the horse pasture, cabins, barn, natural springs, pool and finally the newly updated medical center.      

In 2022, Rock Springs Ranch will have camp sessions in June and July open to campers age 8‐18.
