AMES — Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is offering several themed 4-H summer camps. These three- to six-day camp experiences offer Iowa youth the opportunity to meet other students from around the state who share their interests, while experiencing a high quality educational program.

Financial assistance is available through the Iowa 4-H Foundation. Applications can be found on the foundation’s website and are due to county extension offices by April 25. Youth do not need to be members in the Iowa 4-H program to attend, or to apply for financial assistance. Youth who are from military families qualify for a $75 discount.

2017 camp offerings are as follows:
