One week left to register for Hocking County 4-H Cloverbud Camp!

Hocking County 4-H Cloverbud Camp 2026

Join us for this year's camp—Imagination Station: Brick Edition and use your imagination to create wonderful things!

July 25: 9 AM-3 PM | $20 per camper | Alley Park, Lancaster, OH
Register by June 26

Let your imagination run wild at 4-H Cloverbud Camp.
Imagination Station: Brick Edition:

• 4-H Cloverbud Camp adventures will be based on STEM education including games, crafts, and hiking. All youth Age 5 and in Kindergarten to age 8 and in 2nd grade as of January 1, 2026, may participate.

• Campers are supervised and lead by trained teen counselors and adult 4-H volunteers and Extension staff.

• Camp registration packets may be picked up at the office or can be downloaded at go.osu.edu/hocking4hcamp

• 4-H Membership is not required.

Ohio 4-H strives to make camp accessible for everyone. Sharing needs and expectations helps with preparation for the individual’s success, well-being, health, and safety at camp. However, if the extent of an individual’s needs may require more care than the trained counselors and staff can provide, we reserve the right to send the individual home at the camper’s expense.

As we head to camp next week, we would like to thank our sponsors for their generous support of the 4-H camp program!

Each year eligible Hocking County 4-H youth have the opportunity to apply for the Citizenship Washington Focus Trip. This trip is sponsored by the Hocking County 4-H Advisory Committee. Cost of this trip is covered by the Committee. ($2000 est value) Meals, lodging, and planned activities are covered.

Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) is a premier 4-H leadership experience for high school youth 4-H ages 14–18 from across the United States held on March 16-21, 2027, in Washington D.C.

For four days, teens from all over the country come to D.C. to collaborate, connect, and cultivate a passion for expanding their minds and their world – becoming resilient and ready for everything life has to offer. Teens will immerse themselves in hands-on workshops, experiences, activities in their key programming track of AgriScience, Animal Science, Community Accelerators, CWF @ Ignite, Healthy Living (featuring soccer), or STEM to continue to find their spark. With the addition of public speaking, career and life readiness, and presentation workshops, teens will be able to apply what they learn to their own lives and take a step forward to become Beyond Ready for the future.
