UGA Extension agents, staff and trained volunteers keep local communities informed through county Extension offices. We offer reliable information and programs in the areas of agriculture, food, families, the environment, and 4-H youth development. Let us help you learn, grow, and do more!
CAMP COST: This year, all camps cost $450\child\week. There is a $150 non-refundable deposit due at registration for all camps. Final payment deadline is May 3rd; however, we highly encourage parents to take advantage of the opportunity to pay in installments. Once the child is registered, payments may be made online through the camp registration system or in person at the Extension Office, 114 N. Main Street, Reidsville, GA. In-person payments must be made by cash or check, as we can only process card payments directly through the online registration system.

Register Online Beginning February 15th for 4th-8th Grade Camps! You can register here.
Again this year, we will be using an online system to accept camp registration. The system will accept payment by card and can help us track registrations, payments, quota numbers, and other valuable information. This is the same system we have been using for various events since 2023, so your family may already have an account you created for them. You should be able to reset your password if you forgot it from last year!
When you click “Add to Cart”, it should prompt you to create an account. As the parent\guardian, you should choose the option to create a family/group account. This will allow you to use your own information for contact and payment, while registering one or more children for 4-H opportunities throughout the year. You will need to create a user for your child and add that user to your cart for the event. If you have technical issues, please give us a call at (912) 557-6724, ext. 0.
Having technical problems or just don't want to register online? You may choose to register with cash or check in person at the Extension Office, 114 N Main Street, Reidsville, GA (by Dollar Tree). If you plan to register in person, please visit the Extension Office during regular office hours (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-Noon & 1 p.m. -5 p.m.) where you may register until all spaces are filled. No registrations will be accepted before February 15th!

Fundraiser Opportunities
ANNUAL TREE & PLANT SALE: This event has already occured for this year.
BLOOD DRIVE FUNDRAISER: This year, we will be partnering with THE BLOOD CONNECTION to host a Blood Drive in Tattnall County. For each blood donor who attends the blood drive, a small donation is made to Tattnall County 4-H. Our hope is to set up this fundraiser so that for every donor who mentions your 4-H'ers name during registration, that small donation about can be deducted from your camp balance. This fundraiser will take place later in the Spring and more details will be posted once details are finalized. If details haven't been posted, it is because our staff is still in the planning stages and finalizing those details.
DONUT SALE: This fundraiser will take place later in the Spring and more details will be posted once details are finalized. If details haven't been posted, it is because our staff is still in the planning stages and finalizing those details.
Note: While some surrounding counties sell candy bars as a camp fundraiser, we do not do this since it is a major fundraiser for our local BETA students and a few other school clubs.
