Summer Programs

Summer Day Camps for Children Grades K-6

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Fayette County 4-H offers quality summer camps in our communities.  The day-long camps are educational, interactive, and sure to keep your child's attention.  There are a limited number of spots available for each camp.

Registration Fee: Registration fee is $15 for each camp (late registrations $20).  We offer quality, affordable programs and don't want cost to be a barrier - financial assistance is available.

Participants should bring a lunch for each camp day. Snacks and all activity supplies are included. 

Registration deadline is one week prior to camp date. Many camp dates fill quickly so don't delay in signing up!  Registrations are completed using 4hOnline.  A help sheet is below.
