It is that time of year again, where summer break is lurking just around the corner. What do you have planned for your child? Sitting at home, playing video games all day, being bored and learning nothing? Well, Madison County 4-H might just have something that will interest you and your child.
This summer, the 4-H Club will be offering several day camps, where youth can learn a few things and have some fun while learning. All camps will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. Currently, the University of Florida (following CDC guidelines) has mandated that all participants must wear a mask while participating in 4-H sponsored activities.

Due to continued COVID-19 concerns, the University of Florida has made the difficult decision to not have overnight camps this summer. We will not be having our regular Camp Cherry Lake overnight residential camp this year. Day camp registration opens Monday, April 12, 2021 at the Extension Office. Spots fill up fast! All campers will receive a summer camp t-shirt. For more information, please call Beth Moore at (850) 973-4138. Space is very limited this year and spots fill up quickly! A special thanks to the Madison Kiwanis Club for the generous grant was given to Madison County 4-H to off-set the costs of camps and to keep the cost down for the families.
