Information for 4-H Staff

Special promotional materials have been developed to recruit campers including a promotional CD. Staff are encouraged to copy the promotional materials and the application packet and distribute them to teens who may be interested. (If you have problems with the files linked below, contact Judy Ratkos at ratkos@msu.edu.) Think about recruiting both current 4-H members and those interested in joining your county 4-H program. This could be a wonderful recruitment opportunity to get more teens involved in your county program.
