All camps are 5-day residential camps & costs include meals, lodging, and transportation unless noted. A $90 camp deposit is required at the time of registration and all camps are first-come, first-served.

Mark your calendars now! From bathing suits to sandals, sunscreen to bug spray, 4-H staff will go over everything you need to know about summer camp. EVERY CHILD attending camp is required to this meeting with an ADULT - even if your child has been to camp with us before! Final camp balances are due at this meeting - cash, credit, and checks will be accepted.

• A $90 deposit is due at the time of registration for all 4-H summer camps. The remaining camp balance will reflect the total cost of the camp minus the $90 deposit. The initial deposit & registration must be made online via Eventbrite. Deposits CANNOT be covered by fundraising funds or scholarship money. If a camp happens to be canceled by Georgia 4-H for whatever reason, students will be eligible for a full refund.

• Final camp balances for Cloverleaf Camp are due May 10 and for all other camps, final payments are due May 9. Full and partial payments towards your child's remaining camp balance can be made any time after the initial deposit is made. However, we suggest using the following payment schedule. PAYMENT 1: $145 - Friday, April 8, 2022 & PAYMENT 2: $145 - Monday, May 2, 2022

• All remaining summer camp payments must be made at the Extension/4-H office or via mail. Additional payments CANNOT be paid online or via phone. Cash/Check/Credit are accepted in the office. Check only via mail. Please make checks payable to Columbia County Extension/4-H and be sure to include your child’s name and the camp you’re paying for in the notes line.

• Camp deposits are partially refundable before March 9 for Specialty Camps, before March 25 for Junior Camp, and before April 4 for Cloverleaf Camp. After that date, deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE.

• When requesting a full refund for any summer camp, 25% of the total amount paid will be deducted from the refund as well as the deposit amount. A request for reimbursement for all camps must be sent two weeks prior to the start of camp.

• Refunds requested two weeks before or after camp will not be reimbursed until after September 1, 2022. If a refund is based on an illness in which the student could not attend camp at all, proper medical documentation is required. Reimbursement requests made after camp has started must be sent within the 2 weeks following the end date of the camp. Camp refund requests are determined by the Columbia County 4-H Agent & Georgia 4-H.

NOTE: Before registering your child, please make sure he or she is comfortable with being away from home overnight for a week, especially if your child has never been away from home overnight for an extended amount of time. NO REFUNDS are given for children who go home due to HOMESICKNESS, ILLNESS, or BAD BEHAVIOR. Cloverleaf campers, please make sure your child is comfortable staying overnight away from home for several days. Summer camp should not be the first time your child has been without a family member overnight :-)

All other camps must complete the following paperwork 2 WEEKS BEFORE the start of camp - Online Code of Conduct & Waiver Form, Medical Release Form, and any other activity release form required.

• Scholarships are distributed to students based on financial need, activeness in 4-H, and efforts in 4-H fundraising. All scholarship applications are reviewed and awarded by our community camp scholarship committee. Applications are due March 14 by 5 pm - applications that are late or do not include fundraising efforts and/or an adult recommendation WILL NOT be considered.

Other requirements include selling at least $75 worth of Vidalia Onions (see below) and a Recommendation Form by an adult who is familiar with the child such as a scout leader, a teacher, a coach, etc. This form cannot be written by a family member. The required recommendation form is included as a separate Google Form and within the paper PDF application.

Columbia County 4-H has several opportunities for students to fundraise to help ease the financial burden of going to a 4-H Summer Camp. The more you sell, the cheaper camp will be. We have had several students in the past completely pay for camp plus some by selling Vidalia Onions & Country Meat Sticks! Students can earn 20% back in 4-H credit by selling Vidalia Onions and up to .25 cents back for every meat stick sold. Information and order forms for these fundraisers are available at .

The #1 goal of Georgia 4-H is to make sure our campers are SAFE, part of an INCLUSIVE & WELCOMING environment, and have the BEST camp experience they can possibly have. Columbia County welcomes ALL CHILDREN to camp with us no matter what medical concern, disability, allergy, or special accommodation the camper may have or need. Our 4-H staff and volunteers will go above and beyond to make sure that your child is well taken care of in the best way possible. In order for us to best take care of your child while he or she is at camp, please fill out the REGISTRATION QUESTIONS regarding the particular needs of your child completely and thoroughly. The more we know, the better we can assure your child has the best week of camp possible.
