Camp Registration
Sign up for camps or crates, register, and pay online at
nwiasummercamps.fairentry.com
Our Summer Camps and Clover Crates are open to EVERYONE.
Youth do not have to be 4-H members or Clover Kids to participate in Summer
Camps or Clover Crates; everyone is welcome! But if you want to join 4-H or
Clover Kids, we would love to have you! Learn more on pages 8 and 12.
What’s the difference between Camps and Clover Crates?
Simple Answer: Camps are held in-person and Clover Crates are ‘take-home
camps’ that can be picked up at your local ISU Extension and Outreach office
and done at home.
Camp and Clover Crate registration will both open April 1, 2021.
Clover Crate registration will close May 31, with crates available for pickup from
your local ISU Extension and Outreach office starting June 7.
Summer Camp registration will continue throughout the summer, with
registration for each camp closing a few days before that camp is held.
