4-H Summer Fun-Virtual Style


So much for the best laid plans.  COVID took out our plans we made in February for our Face to Face 4-H Summer Fun Program.  Not to worry we punted and rebooted and are excited to offer you the following virtual options. 
-Please note unless otherwise stated programs are free.  
-A supply list for each Summer Fun Camp will be emailed to you so you can make sure your child has what they need on hand to do the activities with us.  We have done our best to make sure you will have a selection of places to purchase items and plenty will be available.
-Each session will be a zoom session and done live so your child can interact with the staff and volunteers who are teaching activities.  Zoom links will be emailed prior to the camps.  (Please note the virtual overnight camp has recorded and live sessions to make it easier for you to build the schedule that will engage your child the most).
-Each camp length is based on studies of screen learning time for age groups, hence our 5-8 year olds we are looking at an hour, 9-13 two hours and our 14-18 year olds around 2-3 hours. 
-Please note we will advertise other virtual learning opportunities for youth however the majority of camps listed here are coordinated by Robeson County 4-H Staff and open to our Robeson County 4-H members (must have an active profile on 4-H Online) only.  Virtual Overnight Camp and Horticulture Camp are open to youth around the state, 4-H Congress is a statewide 4-H opportunity.
-We are excited to offer online registration through Eventbrite.  Just click the link for the camp below to register.
-You may register for our camps on your mobile device through our app also.  To download our free app please go to your Apple or Google store and download "4-H Now!"  You will be able to search for our Robeson County 4-H app and download it to your smart deveice.
