4-H Camping Conference

POSTPONED PENDING NEW DATE

We regret to announce that the 2020 4-H Camping Conference has been postponed. This difficult decision has been made in light of ongoing concerns surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and in the best interest of our 4-H Camping Conference community.

Our current plan is to reschedule for a later date at the same location, although we don’t have any other details available at this time. We hope that most registration fees can be carried forward to the new conference date but are working with the University to determine procedures for those who require refunds. This may take some time, as many of our departments are now working remotely.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. We’ll continue to keep everyone updated as new information becomes available and look forward to a successful conference in the future. In the meantime, be well and please be sure to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Archery Certification

A training course for the 4-H archery discipline will be offered as a workshop at the California 4-H Camping Conference. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be certified as archery volunteers and can instruct archery club projects and camp programs.

Please note that the certification course will require attendance for two days so you will not be able to participate in other conference workshops.

Register for the archery course when you register for the conference. Registration includes meals, lodging, and course materials.

If you want to offer archery at camp, send someone to be certified!
