4-H camp is a great experience for 4-H members and non-4-H participants. 4-H camp has a rich history and tradition in Missouri. 4-H staff have conducted camps for more than 60 years. Historically, 4-H camps were some of the original users of the group camp facilities found in Missouri state parks, and today many 4-H camps still use them. Camp Clover Point offers a dining hall with kitchen, sleeping cabins with modern restrooms and showers, a recreation hall, amphitheater, volleyball and basketball courts, craft house, and a waterfront.

Camp Counselor Application - Spring

Being a camp counselor is an opportunity for 4-H members age 14-18 to attend camp and give back to younger 4-H members. We encourage all interested 4-H members to complete the camp counselor application. Camp counselor status comes with responsibility. Although camp is a fun and rewarding experience for counselors, taking on leadership roles that involve mentoring younger campers and assisting with camp activities. Counselors will be selected through an application and interview process; this will be a positive learning experience for the counselors as well as help us create an effective leadership team. Counselors undergo training sessions to prepare for their role, focusing on leadership skills, safety protocols, and activity planning. This preparation ensures they are equipped to handle the camp environment and provide a positive experience for all campers.
