Sonoma County 4-H Camp - Camper Application 2024

 

Sonoma County 4-H Camper Application 2024

Sonoma County 4-H Summer Camp provides an outdoor setting for group living where young people gain a deeper understanding of their relationships to their fellow human and the natural environment. The core of the Sonoma County 4-H camp education program is to empower young people to share as partners in decision making, camp planning and implementation, and camp leadership on a day-to-day basis. Campers take part in all the classic summer camp activities- hiking, arts and crafts, skits and songs around the campfire. Camp is run by teens, called "staffers," who start meeting in the fall to organize all the aspects of camp- everything from the food to the themes for the events.  There is one teen staffer to every five youth (called campers).  There are, of course, adult chaperones there as well (one for every ten campers) and a nurse on staff. 

Camp 1 will be held at Camp Tamarancho’s Boy Scout Camp, located in the heart of beautiful Marin County, Fairfax CA. Camp Tamarancho has over 412 acres of grassy meadows, oak- and madrone-covered knolls, and redwood-forest canyons along Fairfax Ridge with amazing views of the North Bay stretching from Mt. Tamalpais to Mt. Diablo.

The camp location is a little over an hour away.  We are asking that campers be dropped off on June 24th and picked up again at the end of camp on June 29th.  We would love for parents to bring lunch and stay for opening ceremonies, see the camp, meet the staffers, and experience all the things camp has to offer.  If you are interested in being part of camp as an adult chaperone, one day or the full week please use this link.

Our boys and girls camp areas allow us the perfect area to sleep out underneath the stars. We do require that every camper has a cot for them to sleep on, to ensure that they are up off the ground.  No hammocks allowed.  

There is spotty cell service and we prefer all campers to leave their cell phones at home.  We look forward to having a week unplugged; There will be a phone number for emergencies / urgent issues.  We will be sharing photos and updates throughout the week of camp so please make sure you are following us on Facebook and Instagram.

When camp gets closer an email will go out with all our camp details including a packing list and emergency number.  Emergency number (707) 536-1203

Camp 2 will be held at The Mendocino Woodlands. Located within traditional Pomo territory near the village site Bu’ldam, Mendocino Woodlands National Historic Landmark State Park is a year-round group camping facility and environmental education center nestled in the heart of the Redwood Forest, just Northeast of the town of Mendocino. Camp 2 campers will be dropped off by their parents on Sunday July 7. We invite families to bring a lunch and stay for a while. This will be an opportunity to see the camp, meet our teen staffers, help get your camper set up in their tents and learn more about our program at our opening ceremonies. All Camp 2 campers will be bussed home on Friday July 12. Buses will drop campers off to the 4-H Office at 133 Aviation Blvd, Santa Rosa on Friday afternoon. At Mendocino Woodlands we will be sleeping amongst the redwoods in tents that come equipped with cots. When camp gets closer an email will go out with the exact bus times, all our camp details and a packing list. There is no cell service at Mendocino Woodlands. We look forward to having a week unplugged:) There is a landline in the dining hall for emergencies/ urgent issues only. 707-937-3023
