4-H Update

It is time to think about 4-H Camp 2022 in Alpine, Wyoming! Campers from Caribou, Bear Lake, Franklin, Oneida, and Power counties will be attending camp. Space is limited. Be sure to get your registration/enrollment form turned in early.

We will leave for Camp Monday morning, June 10th, and will return Wednesday early afternoon, June 12th. Youth ages 9-12 are eligible and encouraged to attend this camp. This includes 8-year-olds who will turn 9 this year. 4-H leaders and parents are welcome to attend and assist with 4-H Camp at a reduced fee. (If you are interested in attending as a leader, contact the Extension Office as soon as possible, but no later than Friday, May 31st. We always need adult help and appreciate your assistance. All volunteers must meet screening requirements set forth by 4-H program.

Nutrien has offered a grant to the Caribou County Extension Office this year that has given us the opportunity to reduce the price of camp.  A huge thank you to Nutrien!!  This year the camp fee is $30.00 per camper, which includes meals, lodging, transportation, insurance, activity materials, camp supplies and a T-shirt. (This fee does not include the 4-H enrollment fee of $20.00 and must be paid before attending camp.) Adults may attend at a reduced rate of $30.00 and teen leaders will be able to attend for free.   Members planning on attending camp must be enrolled in Zsuite including all adults.  The site to do that is 4h.zsuite.org.  If you would like to pay online, please let us know and we can send you an invoice or we have Venmo, the address for that is @CaribouCounty-Extension.

We have an entertaining and educational camp planned this year. The theme is “Slimy, Gooey, Gross.”  All activities are supervised by adult volunteers, teen camp counselors, Extension 4-H program coordinators, assistants, and Extension educators.

Camp forms can be obtained at the Caribou County Extension Office, 53 East, 1st South Soda Springs. Forms and registration/enrollment fees must be returned no later than Friday, May 31st, by 4:45 p.m. Late camp forms WILL NOT be accepted due to limited space, meal planning, transportation issues and time to obtain supplies.

To potential volunteers:

We are looking for some fun, outgoing and responsible youth that want to mentor our young campers.  Could it be you??

4-H knows that youth are an important resource in our communities. 4-H doesn’t teach you to be leaders someday in the future; it places you in meaningful leadership roles today and surrounds you with caring, supportive adults. 

At 4-H camp, teen leaders will be able to participate in camp planning, organizing, teaching and mentoring. As a teen leader, you may also enjoy campfires, archery, shooting, games, classes, hiking, getting to know teens from other counties, and making new friends. 

4-H Alpine Camp will be held Monday, June 10th to Wednesday, June 12th this summer. Applications for teen counselors are now being accepted until April 30th. 

Teen leaders should be in 8th grade and will be required to attend the training that will be held May 31st at Downata Hot Springs at 9:00 AM.  We will meet at the Extension Office and drive up together at
8:00 A.M.

Nutrien has offered us a scholarship this year to help with the cost of camp.  If you go as a counselor your cost will be covered by the scholarship.

Please call our office at (208) 547-3205 if you have any questions or stop by the Extension Office at 53 E 1st S to pick up your
application.
