Give the Gift of Camp
With the holidays comes the gift-giving season. Encourage donors to your 4-H club to "Give the Gift of Camp" by sponsoring a club member for the 2023 Summer Camp season. This is an excellent way to engage more persons in your 4-H club program in a very tangible way. A camp donor can easily see the rewards of their donation, which should include a thank you note from the camper, along with a pic of the camper having fun at camp. Talk to your Extension Agent for more ideas. See the 4-H Camp website at https://4h.tennessee.edu/camp/.
