JR Counselor Program
Teens ages 14-16, as of Sept. 1st of the current school year, are able to apply to be a Jr. Counselor at Camp Cloverleaf for weeks of youth summer camp, where youth ages 8-12 attend as a camper. Jr. Counselors will pay the early bird fee for each week of camp they attend as a Jr. Counselor. If accepted into the Jr. Counselor Program, participants will receive detailed registration instructions in your acceptance letter. We highly encourage you to read through the description for each week of camp below and pick a week(s) with a theme you are passionate about and are available to attend this summer!
Registration for all summer camp programs will be open 9:00 am EST on January 28 and will be available on a first-come-first serve basis. Individual camper registrations cannot be made, or positions held, over the phone or via email. Any registrations must be reserved using 4-H Online. Full payment of registration fees must also be received to secure a place at camp. Upon receipt of the camper’s completed forms in 4-H online and payment, a confirmation email will be sent to confirm registration is complete.

This week of camp is designed specifically for Military Kids - dependents of FL National Guard and Gold Star Families will get priority, but all branches and dependents of veterans are encouraged to apply as well. The goal is to create lasting friendships and bonds within their military youth community. Throughout the week, youth will engage in hands-on, outdoor activities (kayaking, swimming, science classes, campfires, etc.), while also participating in wellness and healthy living activities.
Celebrating America's birthday and our freedoms will also be a part of the theme during this week. Registration is open to dependents registered in DEERS, with full registration costs being covered by the Florida Army National Guard Child and Youth Program. Registration approval will come only after military verification has been received and the Child and Youth Program approves it.
For youth interested in serving as a Jr. Counselor, please note that this is a leadership role and will be different than attending as a camper. For more details on the role of a Jr. Counselor, please click here: https://florida4h.ifas.ufl.edu/camps/jr-counselor-program/.
