ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR RECIPIENTS WILL BE MADE ON OR AROUND APRIL 1, 2020 Carolina Parent and Facebook Promotion in March. Engage your local families for the opportunity to win a campership. In March, we are excited to partner with Carolina Parent Magazine to run a promotional contest for a chance to win a free camp registration for a week of 4-H camp at their choice of 4-H center, based on availability. Emails will be sent to 15,000+ subscribers with information about our Camps and the contest. At the same time, we will be running a promotional campaign on Facebook so parents in your local networks (if they are not Carolina Parent subscribers) can enter for a chance to win a free camp registration for a week of 4-H camp at their choice of 4-H center, based on availability. To enter, contestants will need to: Like our NC 4-H Camps Facebook page Tag a friend in the comments of the promotional post who does not currently like our FB page. If that friend also likes our page and tags another friend, they will also be entered to win. Both promotions will help grow awareness of our camps and their programs. Winners of both contests will be announced in early April. Stay tuned! We're Hiring! Do you know motivated young adults who are looking for a fantastic summer job? We're currently hiring Camp Counselor and Activity Instructor positions at all three camps. Working at 4-H Summer Camp is not only tons of fun, it also looks great on a resume.
