Welcome to the Lions Clubs of Iowa youth exchange camp website. This camp serves as a cultural exchange for developing friendships with people from other countries. It also serves as a way to understand the differences as well as the similarities of the customs, and ways people of other countries live. Founded in 1950, the Iowa 4-H Center is located on 1100 acres of timberland and prairie along the Des Moines River Valley in central Iowa. We are 30 minutes north of Des Moines and 20 minutes southwest of the Iowa State University campus.
