Summer 2023 4-H Residential Summer Camp Scholarships NOW OPEN

While the “winter” months have their own appeal, I for one will be counting down the days until summer. As a kid I always loved summer as well and one of my favorite pastimes was attending sleep-away camp.

What I loved about summer camp was being outdoors, participating in camp activities, having a week “on my own”, and making new friends. What I didn’t realize I was also getting out of camp were valuable life and developmental skills like independence, belonging, team-work, confidence, and lifelong memories.

Residential Camp Locations

If you are interested in 4-H residential summer camp, there are three locations to take advantage of; Camp Timpoochee in Niceville, Camp Cherry Lake in Madison, or Camp Cloverleaf in Lake Placid. Each has their own themed weeks, camp activities, environmental education, and a whole lot of fun! If you’re not quite ready for sleep-away camp, each offer day camp options as well.

Available Scholarships

Thanks to the Busby 4-H Endowment, Alfred I. duPont Foundation, the Boyd Family Endowment, and The Florida Rural Rehabilitation Corporation Scholarship Fund there are generous scholarships available through the Florida 4-H State Office. Apply for these scholarships now through December 31st!
