Reed Extension Agent for 4-H Youth Development Education DATE: February 5, 2018 2018 4-H Summer Camp Week: July 3-6, 2018 (Tuesday - Friday) It is time to register for 4-H Summer Camp!! 4-H Camp is one of the greatest experiences you will have in your life. It is a great time to meet and make new friends, try new things, and just have fun. I have enclosed the camp reservation form with this letter. Remember: campers are 9 - 15 years old. Due to VERY GENEROUS donations, the fee for campers is $155.00! In addition, we have additional donors who know the value of camp and want you to be able to participate, so a camp scholarship application will be included with every registration packet this year. Meade County will be attending camp at the beautiful West Kentucky 4-H Camp in Dawson Springs, KY. Our camping group will consist of Calloway, Union, Edmonson, McLean and Meade counties. This is an exciting opportunity for us! At the WKY 4-H Camp, you will be able to choose the classes you would like to attend, the cabins are air conditioned and you will have the opportunity to be more self-reliant and responsible. All expenses are covered in the $155.00 fee, including transportation, lodging, meals and snacks, and insurance, with the exception of a little spending money for the country store. You will receive a copy of the store shopping list at camper orientation. You will have the opportunity to order a camp t-shirt closer to camp time. ALL campers (new and experienced) and at least one adult are REQUIRED to attend a camper orientation this year. You must attend orientation in order to attend camp. We will be offering two sessions, but you are only required to attend one. The 2018 4-H Camp Orientation dates are June 21st @ 6pm and June 28 @ 6pm. So come on and complete the attached RESERVATION form and send it with your deposit (due by May 1 st ) to save your spot so you too can enjoy canoeing, swimming, horses, high and low ropes, zip line and many other activities!! Spots are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis, so GET YOURS IN NOW! The first 30 reservations will receive a FREE 4-H camp souvenir! All registrations are considered TENTATIVE until we secure the required adult volunteers to attend. A complete camper registration packet will be sent to you after May 1 st . Complete applications and payments in full are due in to the office by MAY 25, 2018.
