4-H Great Lakes Natural Resources Camp Cost and How to Apply
How Much Does Camp Cost?
The 2012 fee remains the same as last year! The cost is $335 for campers who are 4-H members and $345 for campers who are not 4-H members. This includes meals, snacks, lodging, a T-shirt, and program and activity fees. Donors to the Michigan 4-H Foundation, Michigan Sea Grant Extension and the Michigan Charter Boat Association generously offset about 26 percent of the real $450-per-camper cost!
A limited number of state scholarships are offered for teens with financial need. Contact your county MSU Extension office to see if local scholarships may also be available.
How To Apply and Remit Payment
Camper applications and deposits ($100 for 4-H members; $110 for applicants who are not 4-H members) are due May 14, 2012, to the State 4-H Office. Please make the deposit check or money order payable to MSU Extension and note “GLNR Camp deposit” on the memo line. The remaining amount is due by June 11, 2012, along with additional forms that will be sent to you in a camper acceptance letter.
If space is still available after May 14, late enrollments will be accepted with a $25 late fee until camp fills or until June 8, 2012, whichever comes first.
