Marshall County is set to go to 4-H Camp on Monday, June 13th – Thursday, June 16th with Ballard, Carlisle, Christian, Fulton, and Graves Counties. The fun-filled four day and three night camp is held at the West Kentucky 4-H Camp in Dawson Springs. The planning of great classes, fun activities, educational programs, and much more are already in the works. And the deadline to register for 4-H Camp is right around the corner!
The 2016 Marshall County 4-H Camp deadline has been extended to Friday, April 15th from the previously published date of March 30th. Marshall County youth between the ages of 9-13 who wish to attend camp must have their registration forms and $50 non-refundable payment into the Marshall County Extension Office by April 15th. Registrations and scholarship applications will not be accepted unless fully completed and first payment made.
The cost of 4-H camp is $225 per camper. This fee includes lodging, meals, transportation, camp t-shirt, and much more. Due to the generosity of local businesses, organizations, and others, there are some scholarships available. Parent/guardians and the camper must complete their respective parts on the back of the Marshall County 4-H camp registration form, scholarship applications, and first payment must be turned into the Extension Office or postmarked by April 15th to be considered for a scholarship. Registrations will be accepted after April 15th on a space available basis only, but those campers will not qualify for a scholarship.
4-H Camp registration forms are available from your child’s school office or the Marshall County Extension Office. The Extension Office is located at 1933 Mayfield Highway (corner of Slickback Road and Highway 58) or call 527-3285 to request one be mailed to you.
4-H is a community of young people across America learning leadership, citizenship and life skills. Educational programs of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability, or national origin.
