December 2017

Dear 4-H’er and Potential Camp Counselor:

Thank you for your interest in the 2018 4-H Camping Program! You can be part of the camping program by being selected as a 4-H Camp Counselor. While your involvement with the program would be a privilege and responsibility for you, we too would be privileged to have you as part of the team!

A reminder that everyone wanting to be a camp counselor must be at least 14 years old by the start of camp, needs to submit an application, signed Standards of Behavior Form, signed Code of Conduct Form, Counselor Permission to Participate – 2018 Fairfield County 4-H Camps, Ohio 4-H Health Statement Form, provide two references (due by January 5), and completed a project in 2017 regardless of whether you are a returning counselor or a new counselor.

A complete list of requirements is included in the Camp Counselor Job Description included in this Application Packet. Also in this Camp Counselor Packet, please notice this year’s training schedule. We will again be offering an Intermediate, Junior, and Cloverbud Camp! It is very important for all Camp Counselors to be in attendance at all trainings. Attendance will be required 100% of the time (no one will be permitted to leave early or arrive late) in order to counsel this year. New for 2018: Cloverbud Counselors will be on a different training schedule this spring (than those serving as Junior and Intermediate Camp Counselors) and Cloverbud Counselors will only need 12 hours of training prior to Cloverbud Camp.

The enclosed job opportunity announcement lists the counselor training dates, states the requirements needed to be a counselor, and describes the responsibilities of a counselor. Please mark these dates on your calendar now so that you can be sure to attend. If you do have to miss a meeting, notify us in advance so we can discuss options for continuing on in the counselor selection process. Otherwise, failure to attend a training or planning meeting will prohibit you from counseling at camp this year.

As the same in years past, final selections will not be made until after we have completed the first few trainings and planning meetings. Because changes have been made to the camps offered for Fairfield County, and we have a significantly higher number of counselors interested in working at camp this year, we may not be able to offer everyone an opportunity to counsel at camp. Decisions will be made on the basis of past performance and participation in trainings and planning meetings.

As a 4-H member interested in camp counseling, we are also extending to you two additional opportunities! One is attending the State Counselor Making eXtreme Counselors Training February 17-18, 2018 and the second is attending the Ohio 4-H Conference March 10, 2018. These are both unique ways to improve your skills as a camp counselor and learn from other counselors throughout the state. Attending these opportunities can help cover missed training hours due to conflicts with regular county trainings, however these two opportunities DO NOT REPLACE the training required at the county level. Cost of the training and conference is to be determined, but shouldn’t exceed more than $50 for training and $35 for the conference which includes meals and any materials. If an Ohio 4 - H Achievement Form is completed, the fee will be reduced for the Ohio 4-H Conference. If you are interested in the Ohio 4-H Conference, registration forms will be available at the Extension Office and are due by February 2nd, 2018.

If you have any questions, please call Leslie at 740-652-7272 or email cooksey.25@osu.edu. I’d also like to introduce our second 4-H Extension Educator and his contact information – Boone Troyer! He will be the point of contact for all Junior and Intermediate Camp Counselors/Camps and I will be the point of contact for Cloverbud Counselors/Camps. Boone’s contact information is 740-652-7271 or email troyer.139@osu.edu. We look forward to an awesome year of Fairfield County 4-H Camping in 2018!

Sincerely,

Leslie S. Cooksey Boone Troyer 4-H Extension Educator 4-H Extension Educator

Counselor Permission to Participate - 2018 Fairfield County 4-H Camps I give permission for my child (name) to participate in Fairfield County 4-H Camp(s) at OSU Extension/Ohio 4-H Center/Tar Hollow State Park/Alley Park on (circle dates) May 11-12, May 30, June 9, June 12, June 25, June 26-29, July 6, July 3-10. Activities involved in camp will include living in a cabin on a hill; sharing bathroom facilities with other campers on the hill; sleeping in bunk beds; canoeing and swimming in a pond; nature hikes; playing volleyball, basketball, relay races and other recreational games; campfire activities; and dances. Attending camp may lead to contact with individuals who are experienced and inexperienced in the above mentioned activities. I also understand that participation in this activity is strictly voluntary and not a requirement for 4-H membership. I am aware, and have discussed with my child, that: A. Being in and around water, woods, and participation in camp activities may cause clothing to become wet, dirty, and beyond cleaning and/or repair; B. While in a canoe, my child may be involved in a collision with another canoe, person, or object in the water; C. Hiking may give rise to risk of injury arising from the surface or subsurface of the ground on which the hiking occurs; D. Participation in sporting/recreational events may give rise to injury as a result of collisions with another individual or sudden falls; E. Other participants may act in a negligent manner which otherwise may result in harm to my child; F. Swimming in a pond may lead to injury caused by slippery surfaces, contact with other swimmers and/or objects in the water. I recognize that the above mentioned activities and potential resulting risks may cause injury, death, drowning, or loss to participants or other persons in the immediate vicinity. I understand that my child is not required to participate in this activity, but grant permission for him/her to do so, despite the possible risks. I recognize that by participating in this activity, as with any physical activity, my child may risk personal injury. I hereby attest and verify that I have been advised of the potential risks, that I have full knowledge of the risks involved in this activity, and that I assume any expenses that may be incurred in the event of an accident, illness, or other incapacity, regardless of whether I have authorized such expenses.

Fairfield County 4-H Camp Rules 1. Report all sickness & injuries to the nurse at once. 2. No swimming or canoeing when the lifeguard is not present. 3. Shoes must be worn at all times (except when showering, sleeping or swimming). 4. No running on trails or hills. 5. Respect others and their property. Use language and manners that are respectful. 6. No fighting. 7. Remain in your own cabin. No one is permitted on hills during program, recreation, campfire, etc. time. No one is permitted on a hill other than their own. 8. Everyone must be in their cabin and quiet by lights out, and remain there until 6:30 a.m. Quiet hours are from lights out until 8:00 a.m. If you are someplace other than in your cabin, the bathroom, or the nurse’s station after lights out, you will be sent home. 9. A raised hand means to listen. When you see someone with a raised hand, you also raise your hand, be quiet and listen for instructions. Be quiet when appropriate and help keep campers quiet. 10. State law prohibits possession of alcohol, drugs, fireworks, and firearms at the state park. Tobacco products are also not permitted at camp. Anyone is possession of such items will be immediately sent home. The park ranger will also be notified. I understand and have explained to my child the behavior that is expected during their participation in the Fairfield County 4-H Camp. I also understand and have explained to my child that not following the above stated rules may require them to call me to explain their behavior and pick them up from camp.

Ohio 4-H Camp Cell Phone Policy

(Ohio 4-H Policy effective October 2015)

As a means of risk management, youth participants (campers and counselors) may not possess cell phones* during 4-H camp. Counselors shall not use cell phones (as alarms, music players, etc.) in their cabins at any time. Camp Program Directors have discretion for permitting camp counselors selective cell phone use during limited time periods, such as during out-posting, nature treks, or off-camp travel (field trips), or for other safety concerns where the use of two-way radios is not practicable. Camp Program Directors will determine consequences for possessing a cell phone. The State 4-H Office recommends a zero tolerance approach: If an individual is caught with a prohibited cell phone, they will be sent home at the family's expense.

*Camp Program Directors also have discretion for prohibiting other internet-enabled devices at their 4-H camps.

The Fairfield County Camp Director recognizes the Ohio 4-H Camp Cell Phone Policy. However, Fairfield County Camps will abide by the Tar Hollow Electronics Policy as we

will prohibit other electronic devices as outlined below:

TAR HOLLOW ELECTRONICS POLICY FOR CAMPERS AND COUNSELORS (Approved by the Ross Hocking Extension Camp Board 3/27/2014)

Cell Phones: Campers and counselors shall NOT bring any kind of cell phone to camp. Cell phones do not have reception at camp, and their use as cameras is prohibited.

Music players: Counselors and staff may bring music players, radios, and iPod type devises but only for use in the cabins as alarm clocks and for music. Counselors may use iPod type devices outside of the cabin only at dances where the counselors are serving in a DJ capacity.

In addition iPods may not be used to play games or in a cell phone like capacity for texting, photos, or internet purposes.

Other electronics: Campers and counselors shall NOT bring any other handheld game, laptop, or other communications devices capable of accessing the Internet through Wi-Fi or another external network.

Cameras: Campers may bring cameras to camp provided that they cannot upload pictures to the Internet. Due to the nature of camp programs, a disposable or inexpensive camera is highly recommended.

MESSAGE TO PARENTS: We know in this high-tech era that it’s difficult for youth to not be in constant contact with their families and friends via Facebook, texting, or cell phone calls. However, camp is a unique experience. The camp experience helps youth develop life skills including independence and self-reliance. Among the concerns that make bringing and using cell phones and other communication devices inappropriate at camp are:

Concern that such expensive devices will be lost, damaged, or stolen. OSU Extension, camp, and staff cannot accept responsibility for lost, stolen, or damaged items at camp.

Inappropriate use of photo and video devices. We know from media reports that the ease of uploading inappropriate photos and videos is a concern. Cyber bullying is not permitted before, during, or after camp.

In addition, youth contact with home if they are suffering a temporary spate of homesickness at camp may cause the condition to worsen. We fully appreciate and respect the positive relationships our campers and counselors have with their families, but if they are to benefit fully from the camp experience, they must be encouraged to develop the skills of independence and self-reliance. If there is an emergency, or if we are concerned about the youth’s well-being, we will contact the parents or guardians immediately. Campers are constantly in the company of other campers and counselors while at camp, and our camps are staffed with many caring adults, including an experienced camp nurse.

Thank you for your cooperation with our electronics policy.
