Arkansas 4-H Virtual Camps
Virtual Camp Sessions:
Extended Virtual Camp Sessions:
All camps are open to 4-H Members. Members, be sure you have re-enrolled through the online system.
Some camps are also open to NON Members. Non members you will need to complete the 4-H enrollment form - https://4h.uada.edu/join/. Select the Little Rock State Office (LRSO) from the list of counties. This will give us detailed information about your camper without having to fill it out for multiple camps.
Single Session Virtual Camps:
Our single sessions are transitioning to a roughly quarterly schedule. Check back for dates/supplies lists. These sessions are open to anyone (members and non members) who would like to join. I am also working on posting follow up videos to each of the sessions.
Be sure to keep supplies out of reach of small children or pets. Youth be sure to get permission/supervision when using items that could be harmful or extremely messy (scissors/lighters/paint/etc.).
Session Supplies:
Clear Ornaments - Plastic/Glass (I recommend round or oval, you will need several)

Outdoor Cooking Series:
This series is designed to help you learn how to cook over a campfire. It focuses on techniques rather than recipes. While we explain the recipe we use, we know that you may have your own and would like you to encourage you to take your favorite at home recipes with you to the campfire. Cooking over the campfire with cast iron may seem like a daunting task with limited options on what you can cook. However, if you take your time and manage your heat the possibilities are endless. Be safe when cooking especially over an open fire. Happy cooking!
