Camping Rules

Overnight camping is open to participant families and club leaders on a first-come, first-served basis. Parents must provide written permission if their child is staying with adults who are not their relatives.

Youth Supervision:

  • Youth may only camp with their parent(s), legal guardian(s), or a club leader, who is responsible for them.

  • A signed permission form is required if a 4-H Chaperone (VSP screened) is supervising the youth.

  • If a child is not camping with a parent or legal guardian, parents must ensure their child is with a VSP screened 4-H Chaperone and one other youth at all times.
