Illinois’ Homemakers Camp Veteran, Jean Hilmes, had many roles throughout the 43 years she attended camp. During her younger years, her most iconic role was as the MC of Skit Night, where the only thing more anticipated than her jokes and dialogue, was the outrageous costumes she would wear to entertain the group. In her later years at camp, she developed a silent auction that allowed everyone to reap the benefits. Campers bring in their gently used or new belonging to contribute to the auction. One camper’s junk is another camper’s treasure! Jean was very proud of all the ladies that participated, as all the proceeds are donated back to the 4-H Camp from the Illinois Homemakers Campers.
We continue the Silent Auction in honor of Jean’s contribution to camp.
Thank you for always making this an enjoyable and successful part of camp each year!
