The information below was used for Summer Camp 2025. Updated information will become available in January/February 2026.
The time has come to register for 4-H Summer Camp! The camp is held at Grant Walker 4-H Educational Center in Pollock, LA, approximately 20 miles north of Alexandria, LA. St. John the Baptist Parish 4-H will attend camp from Monday, July 14, 2025, to Thursday, July 17, 2025.
4-H Camp is a ton of fun! Recreational activities include swimming, canoeing, volleyball, arts and crafts, and dancing. Campers also participate in one of seven educational tracks that allow them to learn in a non-traditional environment.
The cost for camp this summer is $150.00 per camper. This fee includes lodging, meals, transportation, a parish group picture, and a camp t-shirt. 4-H Camp has a camp store where campers can purchase souvenirs and snacks. 4-H Camp has a no-money policy; therefore, parents/guardians, you must add money to your child's registration cost for the camp store. A camper can have a maximum of $30 for the camp store. You can check out the camp store by visiting the online camp store.
A payment schedule has been established to assist in paying for camp. The schedule is as follows:
If multiple youth within a household attend camp, the registration cost is $75/per additional child. The child must be within the same family account in 4-H Online and complete a registration form.
A number of scholarships are available to assist families financially. These include the Chancellors Scholarship ($60), the Saints/Pelicans Scholarship (Full Camp Registration), and the Robinson Family Scholarship (Full Camp Registration). Camp scholarship applications are due by February 28, 2025.
St. John the Baptist 4-H has limited spots available, which will be on a first-come-first-serve basis. To secure your spot, you must submit the registration form and $75.00 by April 4, 2025. Checks, money orders, and debit/credit cards are acceptable payment methods. Should you use a check or money order, have them payable to the St. John the Baptist 4-H Foundation. Please put the camper’s name in the memo line of your payment. If you would like to utilize a credit/debit card, an electronic invoice will be sent to the email provided and incur a 3.3% + 30 cents transaction fee.
