We understand that the cost of camp can be

overwhelming for some. All registered campers

will have the opportunity to fundraise their way

to camp. 4-H’ers will have the chance to sell

Krispy Kreme certificates and participate in the

third annual mattress fundraiser to help offset the

cost of camp. Each camper will receive a

fundraising packet at the time of sign-up! While it

may not seem like much, each fundraisers can

add up fast! For example: each Krispy Kreme

certificate sold will raise $4. Let’s do a little

math…Cost of camp after $85 deposit = $240. $4

earnings for each certificate sold ÷ $240 = 60

certificates. Just by selling 10 certificates you can

save $40!

Refunds will only be given for the following rea-

sons: 1) Medical documentation due to illness/

injury, or 2) death in immediate family. Requests

must be in writing. No refunds will be given for “no

shows” or early departure from camp due to

homesickness, discipline, etc. No refunds will be

made until after the end of the 4-H camping season.
