Loon Lake 4-H Camp is a hidden gem to many, but manager Jill Kahanek wants to introduce the picturesque spot in Ferndale to others as they continue to renovate for their 4-H campers and summer guests.
It was a beautiful spring day at Loon Lake last week, where Kahanek and her husband were mowing and tidying up camp. It’s been more than two years since she took the job as camp manager, bringing years of nonprofit experience to the role.
She said it felt like jumping in the deep end, but these days, she can stand on the shore and proudly talk about the litany of improvements they’ve made to some equipment, cabins and main lodge, with the help of volunteers and 4-H Foundation members.
