The 4-H junior leader experience is designed to provide members with the opportunity to learn about the qualities and competencies needed to be a leader. Junior leaders provide assistance with 4-H events and assume more challenging leadership roles. Our Junior Leader program is a great place to experience new things, complete service-learning projects, meet new friends, travel, and learn the leadership skills necessary in the world. Contact the office for more information.
Help celebrate our 4-H program during National 4-H Week: October 1st-7th. Be creative, be innovative, and do what you can to make a positive difference in your school and community. Show your pride by sponsoring school activities throughout the week and help get others to share enthusiasm.

What's a good theme for 4-H Summer Camp 2024?
Send us your most creative ideas for a slogan -- in seven words or less. Illustrations must accompany the phrase and will be part of the contest. Contest is open to all 4-H club members. Winning slogan will be one that is brief and "catchy," capturing the spirit of 4-H Camp Grant Walker. Artwork and slogan will be used in its entirety or used as the concept for the final artwork. Logo and slogan will be on all publicity for camp and the camp T-shirt, and the winner will receive a monetary award.
The deadline for receipt of 4-H Summer Camp and LOST Camp entries is Tuesday, October 31st. Submissions must include full name and age of person submitting the slogan, parish/4-H club, complete mailing address, and telephone number. Individuals may submit multiple entries and send together. Please make sure to indicate which entries are for 4-H Summer Camp and which are for LOST Camp.
