Camp Cell Phone Policy

As a means of risk management, youth participants (campers and counselors) may not possess cell phones during 4-H camp. Counselors shall not use cell phones (as alarms, music players, etc.) in their cabins at any time. Camp Program Directors have discretion for permitting camp counselors selective cell phone use during limited time periods, such as during out-posting, nature treks, or off-camp travel (field trips), or for other safety concerns where the use of two-way radios is not practicable. Camp Program Directors will determine the consequences of possessing a cell phone. The State 4-H Office recommends a zero-tolerance approach: If an individual is caught with a prohibited cell phone, they will be sent home at the family's expense.

Guidelines for Searching the Belongings of Participants in Camps

Prohibited items at Ohio 4-H camps
Ohio 4-H places priority on taking necessary and reasonable actions to safeguard the overall safety and well-being of all program participants. Prohibited items that are never allowed at any Ohio 4-H program where minor participants are present include alcohol, tobacco products in any form, illegal drugs, pornography, discriminatory iconography and/or messaging, and weapons not included in an approved 4-H shooting sports program. If an individual is found with a prohibited item, they will be sent home at the family's expense.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS THE CAMP COUNSELOR REQUIREMENTS?

 All camp counselors selected will be a 4-H member in good standing. The camp staff looks at your application, references, and how you did at the skill-station interviews.

WHAT IS 4-H CAMP AND WHAT DO YOU DO?

4-H Camp offers youth the opportunity to develop leadership skills, citizenship awareness, responsibility, and self-esteem in an away-from-home group living situation. Some might be surprised to learn that 4-H Camp is a place to grow and learn.

4-H Camp offers a wide variety of activities for each camper such as swimming, nature hikes, numerous sports, and much more. We also have great programs and special events in the afternoons and evenings.

WHERE IS 4-H CAMP CLIFTON?

4-H Camp Clifton is located on Clifton Road next to John Bryant State Park, six miles north of Xenia, in Greene County.

Campers live in one of 22 cabins with 8-10 campers and trained counselor(s). A kitchen and central dining hall provide nutritious meals. A large open-air lodge and an Olympic-size swimming pool provide recreational activities. Other facilities include the Nature Center, Canteen, Campfire Circle, Vespers Hill, High Ropes Course, and Sports Fields.

WHO CAN COME TO 4-H CAMP?

Any 4-H member between the ages of 9 and 14, can attend camp. Non-4-H members are also welcome.

CABIN BUDDIES?

Cabins are assigned on a “first come, first served” basis by Extension staff. Cabins will be assigned only to those turning in all fees and forms. To avoid problems or confusion, there will be no switching cabins or saving a cabin space. The Extension Office reserves the right to switch cabin assignments if necessary. We try to group campers by grade level. 

COUNSELOR ASSIGNMENTS?

Camp counselors will be assigned to cabins after camp registration is completed. Therefore, requesting specific camp counselors is not possible. All counselors have been screened, attended, 24+ hours of training, and are well-qualified. They are looking forward to making camp a fun and safe experience for all the campers.

Hope you will join us at 4-H camp this year!
