Union County 4-H Summer Fun 2026

Union County 4-H is excited to offer another summer of high-quality, hands-on learning opportunities for youth across our community. Summer Fun 2026 is designed to be both engaging for youth and reassuring for parents, providing safe, structured, and enriching day camps that support learning, personal growth, and fun.

Our camps emphasize learning by doing. Youth explore new interests, build practical skills, and form friendships in a supportive environment led by trained staff. Parents and guardians can feel confident knowing their children are participating in programs that prioritize safety, supervision, and meaningful educational experiences.

What’s New for Summer Fun 2026

Camp Structure Update

We are making an important change to our summer camp schedule this year. In the past, camps were offered as a mix of two-day and three-day options within the same week. For Summer Fun 2026, all camps will now run as full week-long camps. This change allows youth more time to dive deeper into activities, build stronger connections with peers, and fully engage in each camp experience, while also providing families with a more consistent weekly schedule.

Camp Opportunities

Summer Fun 2026 will include a combination of returning favorites and exciting camp themes.
