Family Camp at 4-H Camp Ohio is a laid back weekend to enjoy with your family and meet new people. There will be plenty of activities that the whole family can enjoy doing together, or enjoy watching each other do. If you feel like relaxing for the weekend too, that is fine!
You can register for family camp here.
There’s still time to give!
Remember those special times at 4-H camp? From campfires to warm fuzzies, counselor skits and vespers, those summer days and nights created lifelong friendships.
4-H’ers missed camp last year, but it’s back this summer and camp facilities need your help. Keeping campers safe, means fewer campers this year and as a result, less income for camps.
This summer we have a special gift for donations of $150 or more. In partnership with Bob Evans Farms and the Ohio 4-H Foundation, donors who give $150 will receive an exclusive candle with a s’more or campfire scent, featuring labels designed by Ohio 4-H members.
Help us maintain camps for the future. Please give today and invest in camp facilities to help grow true leaders for tomorrow!

We are excited to announce that Ohio 4-H has approved overnight camping opportunities for 2021! We have been diligently working through what we will be able to do at camp and what camp will look like this year. There is still a lot of planning and many details to work out but we are so very much looking forward to being back at 4-H Camp Ohio this year!
4-H Summer Camp (overnight residential camp) will be held during the updated dates of June 18-20th and Cloverbud Day Camp will still be held on Saturday, June 19th. Registration materials are not quite ready yet. We hope to have that information out to you early next week. Registration information will come to you by email and will be completed online. NEW this year, you will have the option to pay by credit/debit card through an online payment portal! The registration deadline will be Friday, May 28th for both Summer Camp and Cloverbud Day Camp or until the camps fill. PLEASE NOTE: Camp will be held at a reduced capacity for 2021. Depending on the interest in these camps, registrations may fill before the deadline. Should camp fill before you register, you have the option to be added to a wait list in case of cancellations.
Thanks to the continued support of several sponsors, camp scholarships will still be available for Licking County 4-H members who have a financial need.
The Ohio 4-H Foundation is hosting a fundraiser to Send S’more Kids to Camp in support of the Ohio 4-H Camping facilities again this spring. Camp Ohio, along with eleven other 4-H camps throughout Ohio will be participating in this fundraiser. The fundraiser will begin on May 24th and run through June (or possibly later). There are several way s that you can be involved:
Please join us for the 2021 Farmers Share Breakfast on Saturday, May 1st from 8:00-10:00am. This year, the breakfast will be held at the McKean Community Building in Fredonia (6885 North St NW, Newark, OH 43055). Enjoy breakfast on location or take it to go. The cost of breakfast is a donation with all donations going to support Licking County 4-H members attending 4-H Summer Camp. We have been so fortunate for the support of the Licking County Farm Bureau and through those who donate through the breakfast. In 2019 this breakfast raised enough funds that we were able to take $30 of every member’s camp fee as well as additional amounts off for the children of Licking County Farm Bureau members and support several full and partial scholarships for 4-Hers to attend camp. Please consider stopping by for some breakfast. If you are unable to come to the breakfast, you can always make a donation to the Licking County Farm Bureau and designate it for the Farmers Share Breakfast.
The registration for Mini Camp is available here. This year, Mini Camp will be held as a one day, day camp on Saturday, May 8, 2021 at 4-H Camp Ohio. Mini Camp is open to Licking County 4-H members age 8 to 12 who are at least in the third grade or higher for the 2020-2021 school year. Mini Camp is a great opportunity for those who haven’t been to camp before or in their first or second year of camping. They will have a chance to have a camp tour, experience some of the sessions and activities we do at camp, and have a meal in the Dining Hall. Please see registration brochure for the tentative schedule as well as a list of special considerations and requirements for 2021.
4-H Camp Ohio is hiring staff for several positions for this summer. If you are interested, please check out the available positions on their website here. Please pass this information along to anyone you know who may be interested.
