Thanks to financial gifts from friends and supporters of the Dickinson County 4-H Foundation, the first 45 Dickinson County 4-Hers attending overnight, specialty, or mini-camp at Rock Springs Ranch will receive $300 toward their camp registration fee! Apply now at https://bit.ly/4-hcampscholarshipapp.
The Dickinson County 4-H Foundation believes in the Rock Springs Ranch camp experience and are also providing a $200 scholarship for a limited number of non-4Hers to attend camp. If you have non-4-H friends that would enjoy camp as much as you do, they may apply now at https://bit.ly/non4-hercampscholarshipapp. Note: applicants must reside in Dickinson County.
