4-H Summer Fun Day Camps

The following was written by Denese Prevatte for our website.

Looking for a great summer opportunity for your child? You’re in luck! Robeson County 4-H Summer Fun Camping opportunities are available for youth between the ages of 5 and 19. Registration is now open to the public and space is limited. Why not give your child the magical experience of 4-H camp? We offer a variety of opportunities for the first-time camper to the seasoned camper. Planning summer camp for the kids is an excellent way to plan some down time for you.

Membership in 4-H is not required. The camps are listed below, but you can download the Summer Fun Brochure. This brochure describes the summer programs available through Robeson County 4-H. You will find descriptions about the programs, the dates, and the costs.  There is a minimum number of children who must sign up for some programs as well as a maximum number on most programs.  We are able to provide these programs at a reasonable cost thanks to funding support from United Way of Robeson County.

To register, come by our office at 455 Caton Road, Lumberton, to complete the registration form, sign up for the programs you wish to participate in, and pay the fee (check or money order ONLY).  Registration will be handled on a first come, first served basis and will only be accepted upon receipt of fees.  Telephone, electronic, faxed, and mailed registration will not be accepted.  Registration will continue until the camps are filled.  Please contact the 4-H office at 910-671-3276 with any questions.  Individuals with disabilities and/or special needs interested in these programs should call so proper arrangements can be made.

Policies

• All fees are nonrefundable unless a camp is filled to capacity or cancelled. Necessary refunds will be made appropriately.
• Punctuality of all participants is expected, particularly on days where field trips are scheduled. The van will only wait 5 minutes past the scheduled departure time.  Punctuality of parents/adults/guardians picking up youth following programs is mandatory.  Youth must be picked up at the time the program ends.  If the 4-H staff members are required to care for your child more than 30 minutes beyond the indicated pick-up time, a fee of $15 per 30 minutes will be charged.
• Although many of our experiences seem like great family activities, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and siblings not registered for the program cannot travel or tour with us due to liability issues.
