2023 Cloverbud Day Camp Information

by

Cloverbud Day Camp is OUT OF THIS WORLD! We’re excited to host a space themed camp this year with fun activities and snacks! Cloverbud Day Camp will be held on Saturday, June 3, 2023 at 4-H Camp Ohio. Our timeline for drop off and pick up are still being finalized, but expect the day to run approximately from 9:00am to 4:30pm. Registration will be completed online just like last year. You will have the option to pay by credit card after completing the registration, or by mailing/dropping off a check or cash to the Extension Office. You will also be directed to complete the camp health history form online after you complete the registration portion. Please ensure that you have time to complete each step by the deadline of May 12, 2023. All three portions (registration | payment | health history) must be completed by the deadline in order for your child to attend Cloverbud Day Camp.

Cloverbud Day Camp is open to both enrolled and non-enrolled youth. We are happy to invite youth who will be age/grade eligible to be Cloverbuds next year (enrolling in Kindergarten this fall) up through their final year of Cloverbuds.

Things to note…

  • Registration for Cloverbud Day Camp will go live at NOON on FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 2023. You will be able to find the registration link on the Camp Opportunities Page under the Cloverbud Day Camp heading.
  • Once you complete the registration, if you select to pay by credit card, you should be automatically directed to the NelNet payment portal. The information from the registration should automatically fill into the payment portal. PLEASE NOTE: If you billing address for your credit card is different than the address you entered for the registration, please be sure to update the address before submitting your payment.
  • If you select to pay by check/cash, that payment is due within one week after you have submitted the registration. If we do not receive your payment in that time frame, we reserve the right to cancel your registration to allow another member to register in the case that camp fills to capacity.
  • Once you’ve completed the registration, you should automatically receive an email within a few minutes of submission. If you do not, please check your junk/spam folder as often these emails can be flagged as spam by your email server. If you cannot find it there, please reach out to Adrienne at anderson.1410@osu.edu as it is likely you incorrectly input your email address.
  • The link to complete the Health History Form will be in the email you receive at the completion of the registration. Again, if you do not automatically receive your email and it is not in you junk/spam folder, please contact Adrienne.
  • Details about drop off, pick up, things to pack, etc. will be emailed out to the email used in the registration form about one week before camp.

We know that many of you are anxiously waiting for registration for 4-H Summer Camp. Please know that those details and registration info will be available soon.

2023 Mini Camp Registrations Now Available

by

Registration information for our 2023 Mini Camp is now available HERE. Mini Camp will be held May 12-13, 2023 at 4-H Camp Ohio. Mini camp is a great opportunity for our first or second year members to get a little taste of the overnight camping experience. Participants will spend one night at camp to get to know the counselors/staff, facility, and types of activities we do at summer camp in June. This can help those who are perhaps a little nervous about attending camp to become more comfortable with the experience and decide if an overnight camping experience is right for them. This camp is also open to our members who are currently in their last year as a Cloverbud. Registrations are due with payment by Friday, April 21, 2023.

2023 4-H Enrollment Information

by

4-H Enrollment is in full swing for 2023! Enrollments are due April 1, 2023. Please review the information below before starting your enrollment.

Your login credentials are the same as last year. If you have forgotten your password, please use the Reset Password option to reset your password. If you no longer have access to the email account you used last year, please email me so I can update your family profile.

Instructions on how to log in and enroll can be found on the How to Join 4-H page here: https://licking.osu.edu/program-areas/4-h-youth-development/how-join-4-h.  Scroll down to the instructions for RETURNING Families. There are step-by-step instructions that you can view and print, a tip sheet, and a video.

Once you have reviewed the instructions, visit oh.4honline.com to login and enroll. Please note that the site works best in Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Please ensure that you are at the 4-HOnline 2.0 site and have not traversed to the old site. Please note: If you search for 4-HOnline through a search engine, often the first option that populates is the old site. Please make sure that the login screen looks like this:

A few things to note:

  • There is an advertisement at the bottom of the 4-HOnline page for “Auction Frogs”. We have no control over this showing up in your profile. You should be able to click the X in the upper, right-hand corner of the green box to dismiss it.
  • There are several new and revised projects. One change that will likely be important for many of our members has to do with the rabbit projects. The three rabbit projects (225 Breeding Rabbit, 226 Market Rabbit, and 227 Pet Rabbit) have all been combined into one project book (new book coming soon). When looking to enroll in a rabbit project, you will want to look for project 228BR Breeding Rabbit, 228MA Market Rabbit, and/or 228PE Pet Rabbit.
  • If anyone in your family has been enrolled in 4-H anywhere in Ohio since 2014, you will have a family profile. If you have trouble accessing your family profile, please DO NOT create a new one. Contact Adrienne (anderson.1410@osu.edu) and she will help you get access to your existing profile.
  • If you have a family member who has “skipped” a year or two of 4-H, their profile may have been archived. Please contact Adrienne and let her know to reactivate the profile. Please DO NOT create a new profile. We want to utilize the existing profile for each member as all of their 4-H history is attached to the original profile.
  • Please take the time to review each member’s profile as you enroll them to ensure ALL the information is there and correct. Please update any contact information that may have changed since last year.
  • Please be sure that all projects are included and correct BEFORE you submit an enrollment. You will NOT be able to make changes to club/project enrollment once you click the Submit button. If you are not able to complete the enrollment in one sitting or are trying to decide on projects, the system will save each page of progress. You can leave that enrollment and come back to it later. Once you have submitted your enrollment, any changes regarding club and project enrollment will need to be made through Adrienne.
  • Once you submit an enrollment, it will be listed as “awaiting review” until it is reviewed at the county level. It will either be approved or will be sent back to you if there is something that needs fixed.
  • If you select a livestock, horse, dog, or shooting sports project the system will ask you to electronically sign the consent for those projects.
  • Cloverbud members should select the project My 4-H Cloverbud year for their enrollment.
  • Those joining the Licking County 4-H Band should select COP-Arts 1900 Performing Arts – 4-H Band for their project. It will be listed towards the end of the project list with the other County Only Projects (COP).

  • We do not want the cost of camp to be a hindrance for any youth to attend camp. If your family has a financial need to help your child(ren) attend camp, please complete a Camp Scholarship Application. Youth must be enrolled as a Licking County 4-H Member to be eligible for a Camp Scholarship. These applications are due by Friday, May 13, 2022 and can be found by clicking HERE.

  • Children of active Licking County Farm Bureau members have the option to receive an additional $50 discount per child, bringing their camp fee down to $145. PLEASE NOTE: the parent of the child must be an active Licking County Farm Bureau member. You will need to enter your membership number during the registration process, so have your membership card ready. Grandparent, aunt/uncle, friend, etc. membership numbers are not eligible for this discount.

Session Selection:

  • You will need to complete the session selection survey for each youth attending summer camp.
  • Please review the session list HERE. We suggest you have your child make selections of which sessions they wish to attend before you start the session selection process. All sessions have a limit as to how many can attend, so please have multiple options selected for each session slot in case your child’s first preference is already full when you complete this step.
  • Some sessions have an additional fee. Once you complete the session selection, you will be automatically redirected to the Nelnet site to pay for any session fees. All session fees will be paid in advanced; no session fees will be collected during check-in at camp.
