Collapse ▲Summer Fun is a great way for youth to explore the world of 4-H. Summer Fun is a series of day camps, field trips and workshops that encourage youth to learn new things, develop new skills, and find new interests. These daily programs are taught and supervised by N.C. Cooperative Extension staff and authorized 4-H volunteers.
Youth do not have to be enrolled in a 4-H club to participate but will need to complete enrollment forms on 4-H Online prior to their first day of Summer Fun.
Passport to 4-H
