Cloverleaf 4-H Camp is a week of fun and learning as 4-H members meet 4-H members from other counties, experience adventure in the workshops at Rock Eagle, swim in one of the two swimming pools, slide down the two story water slide at pool 2, are entertained by the counselors at the variety show, and much more.
4-H members from Coffee County will leave on Monday, July 1, for five days and four nights of fun. The camp is located just north of Eatonton, Georgia, in the heart of the Georgia Piedmont region. We will return to Douglas on Friday, July 5, shortly after lunch.
The total cost of camp is $380. To sign up for camp, return the 4-H camp application and a $95 non-refundable deposit to the 4-H office during office hours (8 AM to 12 PM, and 1 PM to 5 PM). Three more $95 dollar payments will be due on March 1, April 1, and May 1, 2019.
Checks should be made payable to: Coffee County Extension/ 4‑H. If you find out that you cannot go to camp after you have signed up, please contact the Coffee County 4-H office so we can attempt to get you a partial refund from the State 4‑H office. Remember that the $95 deposit is non-refundable.
A limited number of partial camp scholarships are available based on need and 4-H involvement. The scholarship application deadline is February 1. Applicants must still sign up and pay the $95 non-refundable deposit on February 1.
