The fourteen counties that utilize 4-H Camp Ohio are coming together during October to reach a goal of $30,000. Combined with other grants and donations already collected, this goal will make camp’s dream of great facilities a reality! If each county’s 4-H families collectively contribute just $2,200, we’ll meet our goal! All donations are tax deductible and 100% goes directly to facility improvements at Camp Ohio! All contributions, small and large, will make a difference! Please consider donating today at go.osu.edu/CampOhio and show camp that Muskingum County cares!

Encourage your friends and family to purchase a paper clover during the campaign!
If your club would like to help sell clovers or help promote 4-H during the campaign, be sure to call Zanesville’s TSC store at (740) 455-3441 and talk to the manager about how your club can help!
Prizes will be given for the funniest, most creative and most convincing costumes!
