Franklin County 4-H Camp July 26-30, 2008 At  4-H Camp Ohio

When Is Camp This Year? 4-H Camp will begin on Saturday, July 26 at 3:00pm and will conclude on Wednesday, July 30th at 10:30am.

Who’s Invited To 4-H Camp? Youth (4-H members and non 4-H members) ages 8-13 are invited to attend the Franklin County 4-H Camp. You'll have fun meeting other kids from Franklin County while participating in a variety of camp activities like canoeing, mountain boarding, fishing, indoor and outdoor games, mountain biking, nature exploration, swimming, geo-caching, hiking, team challenges, high ropes, climbing wall, camp fires, crafts, and much, much more! This year’s theme is “Wild, Wild West”.

Will My Child Be Safe? Assuring the health and safety of each camper is important to us. Campers are covered by a supplemental health and safety policy while involved in camp programs. Activities are supervised by trained counselors and adult staff. The parent or guardian must provide a health statement prior to camp. Physical or health problems should be shared with the camp nurse who is on duty 24-hours a day. Serious injuries or illness will be handled through the Licking County Memorial Hospital or Knox County Community Hospital.

How much does 4-H Camp Cost? The base price for Franklin County’s 4-H Camp is $165 for 4-H members and $185 for non 4-H members. In addition to this cost, each camper has the option to select additional activities at a minimal cost (example: shotgun workshop-$2.00 or high ropes- $10.00). Other incidental and optional fees include a camp photo, camp store money, and even a camp DVD with all of your child’s greatest memories. If you have multiple children attending 4-H Camp, a $25.00 discount is applied for each additional sibling. If your family is in need of financial assistance to attend camp, please do not be discouraged. Camperships are available. Please send a short letter, in the child’s own handwriting, if possible, explaining: Why do you want to come to camp? Why you would be unable to attend camp without a Campership.
