Please save the following dates for Cloverbud Day Camp: Wednesday, June 14, Wednesday, June 28, and Wednesday, August 16! We have extended the fun again this year and are offering 3 day camps.

Youth will try different recipes and compile a recipe book at the end of camp. Each day youth will have the chance to practice different skills while cooking in the kitchen.
  • Superheroes in our Community - Be a superhero for the day at Superheroes in our Community. Campers are encouraged to dress like their favorite superheroes! Youth will learn about different superheroes in the Fond du Lac County Community. The day will consist of various guest speakers such as police officers, firefighters, teachers, farmers, etc. Youth will participate in an obstacle course, learn about the superpowers of the community superheroes, and create their own superheroes at camp!
  • Art Camp - If your camper loves making a colorful mess, then this is the camp for them! Your artist will love to get their hands dirty by painting, creating, and molding new projects each day. Art is one of the largest projects in 4-H, so youth will get a taste of what they can sign up for under the art project. Examples of projects may include painting, simple woodworking, drawing, tie-dye, etc.
