FAQs:

  1. What is the cost for 4-H Summer Fun Camps? For 2021, each camp is free of charge. We are thankful for United Fund of Stokes County for their support to the 4-H program.
  2. Are parents allowed to stay with their child? We prefer that the child is dropped off and picked up for a couple reasons: We are having to limit our classes due to the Governor’s Executive Orders, so if a parent stays, we have to count them towards those numbers allowed to be there. 4-H is a great opportunity for youth to learn life skills such as, responsibility and social skills, while participating in programs on their own. We will have assistance at each of our summer camps so a child will never be left lost in the dust so to speak.
  3. Why does my child have to have attended Kindergarten to participate in 4-H Summer Fun Camps? Our summer programs follow a schedule much like a school schedule. If a child has attended pre-school or Kindergarten, they will be familiar with being on their own without a parent, being able to do most tasks on their own, and be able to sit through the full length of our program.
  4. Will masks be required at 4-H Summer Fun Camps? Yes, masks will be required for any indoor activities. Our staff has planned many of our programs to be held outdoors, as long as weather permits.
