Our History

On Sept 9, 1947 Richland County Ohio residences and farmers, including T.H Sheppard, Richard Wolford, Beatrice Boals, Florence Frank, Richard McFarland, Rev. Floyd Eckert, and Richard Gramly made plans to establish a rural camp.

The location of the camp was established in Weller Township on an 80-acre tract of land on the Floyd Redding farm. The purpose of the camp was to be used for rural and city youth groups, including Richland County 4-H camp.

Today the facility is 130 acres of land, mostly wooded with nature trails, campfire sites, several lodges, and 7 cabins.

• The new organization was incorporated on Dec 3, 1947 as a non-profit organization for promoting educational, recreational, and character building activities. 

• Richland Co. 4-H camp has been held at RRLC since 1950.

• The Crestview Boy Scouts had used the facility for 20 years

• Currently the Madison Boy scouts use the facility
