Completing an application, submitting a resume, and interview is required as part of the selection process for a position.  If selected for a position with the 4-H camping program, please remember, it is mandatory that you complete 30 hours of training.   Training for both Teen and Adult staff will be offered virtually at this time, however is subject to change.  On February 13, 2021, the training schedule will be posted.
