4-H Great Lakes Natural Resources Camp Cost and How to Apply
How Much Does Camp Cost?
The fee is $335 for Michigan 4-H members and $345 for Michigan youth who are nonmembers. The fee includes meals and snacks, lodging, a T-shirt, and program and activity fees. Donors to the Michigan 4-H Foundation, Michigan Sea Grant Extension and MSU Extension generously offset about 26 percent of the real $450-a-camper cost! Out-of-state campers will be accepted with a $450 fee if space is still available after May 1.
A limited number of state 4-H scholarships are offered for teens with financial need. Contact your county MSU Extension office to see if local scholarships may also be available.
