This summer, when kids get out of school, why not come to 4-H Camp Timpoochee?
4-H Camp at Camp Timpoochee, located on Choctawhatchee Bay in Niceville, offers several activities in one week. These have included line dancing, marine science activities, kayaking, snorkeling, arts and crafts, archery, team building and camp fires.
A week at Camp Timpoochee brings a lifetime of memories, friendships, life skills, team-building skills and fun.
We are accepting applications for campers, counselors in training and youth counselors ages 14-18. You don’t have to be a 4-H member to attend Camp Timpoochee, but if you go and experience what camp and 4-H have to offer you might think about joining one of our clubs.
Youths interested in becoming a youth counselor or counselor in training must attend two training sessions in June. Youths who are counselors for overnight camp will receive 75 hours of community service, which fulfills a requirement for the Bright Futures scholarship offered in Florida.
The overnight camp’s cost is $205 per week for campers, and $150 per week for counselors and counselors in training. Scholarships are available first come, first served. There is a limited amount of spots so visit http://okaloosa.ifas.ufl.edu/4hy/ to print a packet or stop by our office, 3098 Airport Road, to pick one up.
If you have questions about the 4-H program, clubs and camps, please call the Okaloosa County Extension office, 689-5850.
