4-H Camping, Celebrations and more across the state

Florida 4-H is excited to be hosting many programs this summer including day camps, competitions, blended versions of favorites like 4-H Legislature and 4-H University, and more.

Members have been representing their counties and state in a variety of programs including the National 4-H Shooting Sports Championships in Nebraska, the 4-H State Horse Show, and even a virtual exchange with Kentucky and Iraq!

On July 30, 4-H families, alumni and friends will gather at the University of Florida Reitz Union in Gainesville, FL for a special 4-H University day. For 4-H U 2021, senior 4-H members (ages 14-18) have participated in a 'roadshow' of workshops across the state, will gather virtually during the traditional 4-H U week for business and workshops, and then conclude with a one day celebration on July 30.

As alumni and friends of 4-H, you are invited to join us in recognizing the members, volunteers, professionals and alumni impacting 4-H. (4-H members should register via 4-H Online)

The Henry and Nell Davis Pavilion at 4-H Camp Cherry Lake was dedicated on April 9, 2021. 4-H families, alumni and friends gathered to celebrate the ribbon cutting and dedication of the renovated and expanded recreational pavilion.

Campers have been enjoying the space this summer for multiple day camp programs.

Camp Cherry Lake was featured in the latest edition of Farm Bureau's Florida Farm & Family, check it out on page 15.

Thanks to Representative Al Lawson, Camp Cherry Lake is one step closer to a $1.125 million federal investment to bring more workforce training resources to North Florida, including collaborations with Florida Farm Bureau's AEST certification program.
