Special Fundraising initiative provides funding for Wood County 4-H Camp renovations

The Wood County 4-H Camp is one of the few 4-H Camps owned and operated by an all-volunteer board of directors in West Virginia. The camp is owned by the 4-H program itself and its sole purpose is to be used as a facility for youth and families in 4-H, FFA, CEOS and the Wood County Farm Bureau. The campground holds memories for many and will continue to be a place where memories are made.  This facility is more than 80 years old, and many upgrades and renovations are needed. We need your help to make that happen!

Wood County 4-H Camp Capital Improvement

The Wood County 4-H Camp is in need of significant improvements so that we can provide opportunities for youth and families in the community for years to come. The 4-H Camp Improvement Committee has been working hard the last year two years and has secured funds from generous donors to complete several projects on the campgrounds including a complete upgrade to our electrical system, HVAC in the dorms, and coming in October, renovations to the Show Barn and a new barn addition.  We were able to complete these projects thanks to grants from the Ross Foundation, the McDonough Foundation, Our Community Foundation, 4-H groups, and individual donors.  The committee had planned to roll out a public fund-raising campaign in the spring, but due to COVID, that was delayed. We are now ready to open up the campaign to the public to raise additional money to help us reach our goal! We’ve raised more than $162,000 to date!

Wood County Virtual 4-H Camp Awards 2020

Wood County 4-H Camps went virtual this summer due to COVID-19. Campers were given a "Camp Fun Box" full of 4-H Swag, camp class supplies, a t-shirt designed by 4-H'er Mallory Marks that claimed, "We Still Bleed Green in Quarantine!" and some DIY STEM kits. 

Thanks to the support of United Way Alliance of the Mid-Ohio Valley and generous donations from 4-H Clubs and individuals, we were able to provide campers with all camp supplies and items at no charge. 

Wood County Virtual State and County 4-H Exhibit Results 2020

Wood County 4-H members showcased project work virtually this year. Members work all year on their projects, and then typically compete at the county fair. Due to COVID-19 and the cancellation of fairs and festivals, Wood County 4-H members exhibited their projects in a virtual showcase! 

A total of 94 virtual project exhibits were showcased in several categories. The 4-H program teaches life skills like how to sew, cook, and more. Project work in 4-H connects youth to their interests - building skills for future interests and even careers.
