Summer Programming

  • Overnight/Residential Camp

    Florida 4-H has three camps that offer many different camping opportunities for 4-H’ers:

    Starting in the summer of 2022, Florida 4-H’ers can pick which camp and which week they want to attend summer camp. For more information, visit the Florida 4-H Camps website.

  • 4-H University

    Florida 4-H University is a week-long overnight event for young adults held at the University of Florida. Attendees take part in fun activities like FUNshops, voting for the State Council, and competing in State Competitive Events.

    4-H’ers also join educational workshops led by University of Florida teachers, explore different careers, lead community service projects, meet youth from across the state, and have fun while learning important life skills. These skills help them become active and responsible citizens in their communities, country, and world.

    To join Florida 4-H University, participants must be 14 to 18 years old on September 1st of the previous year.

  • iLEAD: Intermediate Leadership Conference

    They are ready. They are capable. Your 11- to 13-year-old has leadership potential, and we are excited to help them grow at iLEAD: Intermediate Leadership Conference.

    We invite all youth ages 11 to 13 (as of September 1 of the current 4-H year) in Florida to the University of Florida’s campus for a two-night, full-day leadership experience. They will meet other kids from across the state and explore interests that can spark their future.

    For more information, please visit Florida 4-H iLEAD or contact the Florida 4-H Citizenship/Leadership Coordinator, Derby Sale at sderby.sale@ufl.edu.

  • Florida 4-H Legislature

    Florida 4-H Legislature provides an opportunity for teen 4-H members to have a “learn by doing” experience in state government each summer. During this event, 4-H’ers will serve as Florida 4-H senators, representatives, lobbyists, media correspondents, Lt. Governor or Governor in a “mock” style experience. 4-H participants will get to experience what it takes for laws to be considered and passed or vetoed in a model legislative session at the Florida State Capitol.

    The purpose of Florida 4-H Legislature is to provide an experience that prepares 4-H members for leadership in the American democratic process. Each participant learns, practices and defends the theory and process of representing citizens and making public policy.

    For more information, please visit Florida 4-H Legislature.
