Classes are age specific to maximize the experience. Youth age is determined as of January 1, 2026. 

Camps require participants to bring bag lunches unless otherwise noted.

All registration is done online through 4-H Online. New users and registrants must create an account. Returning youth will need to re-enroll for the year. All 4-H Online registrations must be approved before you can register for Super Summer.
