In the space below, please indicate two other campers that you would like to bunk with in the same cabin. We ll use these names to fill classes as well. While cabin and class spots are limited and we can t make any guarantees, we will do our best to place everyone with their friends! Class Sign-ups Classes at camp are a great opportunity to learn a new skill or try something new! Each camper takes four classes that each last an hour, and they take the same four classes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We are doing class sign-ups prior to heading to camp, which will free up even more time for great activities once we get there! Below is a list of classes we are offering this summer at 4-H Camp. Please rank each class 1-21, with #1 being your absolute favorite class and #21 being the class you want to take the least. Please refer to the next page for class descriptions! Classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis and spots are divided evenly among the three counties.
