4-H Summer Camp Registration opens!
Dear 4-H families,
The Monterey County 4-H camp applications are now open! Known as Camp McCandless, this has been a tradition for 4-Hers for years. Now held at the Camp MayMac location in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this 5 day summer camp is filled with 4-H fun.
We will take camper applications on a first-come-first-serve basis using a 4-H online registration. When we reach our limit of 100 campers (50 girls & 50 boys) - a wait list will be created and managed by our committee. Campers must be enrolled and nine years old by December 31st, 2018.
Families are to complete the online registration found here: https://ucanr.edu/survey/survey.cfm?surveynumber=27060
A full payment of $300 is expected along with a standerd signed medical release form within one week of completing the online application or the application will be moved to the bottom of the list. The camp supplemental health form is to filled out as well. click here
This payment is to be sent to: 4-H program, 1432 Abbott St, Salinas, CA 93901. Check should be made payable to the Monterey 4-H Camp. Or, full payments can be taken at the 4-H office counter between the hours of 9am – 4:30pm.
This Camp Program is only partially supported by the 4-H Council and, the camp committee has to invest in the location upfront. We are operating on very little funds. Please consider helping us find company donations to offset costs. See our donation letter on the 4-H camp page. We encourage clubs to provide scholarship money to help campers or counselors offset their fees.
