RE:
4-H Junior Residential Summer Camp, June 8-12, 2015
Camp Cloverleaf, Lake Placid
Angelita Ortiz
4-H Program Specialist
Spring is already upon us and the end of the school year fast approaching, which means that 4-H JUNIOR RESIDENTIAL
SUMMER CAMP will be here before we know it. We have selected an exceptional group of youth to serve as counselors, and they
are excited and ready to get started with their plans for camp. The Manatee County 4-H Camp Committee is working hard to
plan another fun-filled week. We hope that all 4-H'ers between the ages of 8 and 12 are planning to attend this summer's camping
session. Remember, in order to attend youth must be 8 -12 years old as of September 1, 2014.
REGISTRATION PACKETS FOR ALL CAMPS AND PARTICIPANTS ARE DUE TO THE 4-H OFFICE
ON OR BEFORE MONDAY, May 4, 2015 BY 5:00 PM
Registration Packets can be mailed to the 4-H Office at:
1303 17th St W, Palmetto FL 34221 or hand delivered to the 4-H Office at the Fairgrounds in Palmetto.
Camper space is limited, therefore enrollment will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Camp registrations will be date/time stamped upon receipt.
Camper, Parent, Family Member, or Leader may register youth for camp.
All Counselors, CIT2, CIT/Leadership Track, Adult Volunteers and Campers will need
to submit all necessary paperwork and fee payment as indicated.
Parent orientation for camp is scheduled for Tuesday, May 19th at 7:00 pm @ the 4-H Center
Attendance is highly recommended for campers and parents.
Again this year, campers are invited to ask a “buddy” to attend camp with them. A “buddy” is a friend who is the same gender and
the same age, or within a year of your age AND must be 8 -12 years old as of September 1, 2014. Buddies are not eligible for
any 4-H scholarships but may be eligible for the Meal Benefits summer food program. Buddies may be eligible for a special Parrish
Foundation buddy scholarship if they live in the Parrish community.
Please read the camp packet in its entirety. Questions and Answers about Summer Camp will provide all the camp details. There are many
areas or forms to be completed that are included in this letter. It is a lot, but should make the camping application process easier. Descriptions of
the application forms are on the following pages.
The Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) is an Equal Opportunity Institution authorized to provide research, educational information, and
other services only to individuals and institutions that function with non-discrimination with respect to race, creed, color, religion, age, disability, sex, sexual
orientation, marital status, national origin, political opinions, or affiliations.
DESCRIPTIONS OF CAMPER APPLICATION FORMS
CAMPER REGISTRATION - The registration form gives the 4-H Office pertinent camper information at a glance. Please check
it over a couple of times to be sure all questions are answered and boxes checked. The entire camper registration packet (with
registration fees) is due back to the 4-H Office no later than 5:00 pm, MONDAY, MAY 4, 2015. Checks should be made payable
to Manatee County 4-H Foundation.
CAMP FINANCIAL SHEET - This sheet will make figuring your camp fees easier. If the camper is receiving a 4-H scholarship,
be sure to note if it is a club awarded scholarship (paid by your 4-H Club and requested from your leader) or a county awarded
scholarship (paid by the Manatee County 4-H Foundation and also requested through your 4-H leader). Scholarship applications
must be in the 4-H Office by April 6, 2015 and signed by the 4-H Club Organizational Leader for youth to deduct a scholarship
amount from the camp fee. The Manatee County 4-H Fee Payment Policy Applies.
CAMPER PICK-UP/DROP-OFF INFORMATION - This information will confirm where the camper will be getting on the bus
to go to camp and getting off the bus coming home from camp - Once this information has been submitted, PLEASE do not
request changes. It is very difficult and confusing for the 4-H Staff, counselors, campers, and camp coordinator to make sure the
camper and their luggage, is where the parent will be. It is necessary for each bus driver to have a list of all youth, their addresses,
ages, and emergency contact numbers before the child can board the bus. If last minute changes are made, it is possible for the bus
driver to refuse to allow the camper to board.
ZERO TOLERANCE CELL PHONE OR ANY ELECTRONIC DEVICE POLICY – This is an unplugged camp. Manatee
County 4-H will enforced zero tolerance cell phone or any other electronic devices policy. Please do not allow your camper,
counselor, CIT or CIT/ leadership participant to bring a cell phone or electronic device to camp. Counselors will be allowed radios
and an alarm clock (one per cabin). If you are found to have a cell phone or other electronic device you will go home immediately.
Manatee County 4-H will not be responsible for lost or damaged items.
GRAFFITI/PROPERTY DAMAGE POLICY – Issued by the State 4-H Office, this policy is to protect the camp facilities as
well as the camp participant and must be signed before the registration packet is considered complete. We hope our 4-H members
will want to take very good care of 4-H Camp Cloverleaf making this policy just a formality.
SICKNESS POLICY – If your child becomes ill during their stay at camp, please note that we will be using the same policy as the
Manatee County School Board. If your child, is vomiting or running a fever, you will be asked to come pick them up.
SUMMER FOOD MEAL SERVICE PROGRAM - The meal benefit form for summer food service (USDA Summer Food
Program) must be returned with the camp registration packet. If you do not qualify, write “declined” across all pages of the
application. If you do qualify, please complete the form (make sure you fill in your Case #.) If you need assistance, call the 4-H
Office at 941.722.4524. This program is being offered through the federal government as a means of financial aid for qualified
families. Everyone (camper, counselor, CIT and CIT/leadership participant) even if you/they are not receiving a
scholarship they must submit this form with their registration packet!
SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS FORM – This special needs form is to provide essential information about the camp participant’s
food allergies or restrictions. The camp staff will make every effort to accommodate these needs –if they are aware of them! Please,
these are not food likes and dislikes, but necessary adjustments for health purposes.
HEALTH FORM - All 4-H’ers have a Health Form on file in the 4-H Online System. However, you MUST go online at
https://florida.4honline.com/Login.aspx to verify your information is correct and update the verification date to May 29th or
after. Buddies must register in 4-H Online as short-term members.
FLORIDA 4-H MEDICATION FORM – The original Medication Form must be submitted at check-in with any and all
medications sent to camp. You must submit a copy of this form (no medications) with your Camp Packet. This form was
created to assist the camp nurse in properly administering your camper’s medications; it should be completed for all medicines sent
with the camper. All prescription medications must be in their original bottles with administration directions labeled. Please send
only enough medicine for the week. Bottles will be returned to the parent when the youth is picked up.
