Leadership Roles

In order for any program to be successful, a group of active and dedicated leaders are needed. We utilize both adult and teen leaders to help have a safe, fun and successful camping experience for the youth of Fayette County.

Adult leaders will be in charge of their own cabin. They will be group leaders and can participate in several of the activities (as a leader) that the youth participate in. If you are interested in being an adult leader for camp, please complete the form below and turn it in to the Extension Office.

Teen Leaders take an active role in group leadership and are considered a very vital part of a safe camping program. If you are interested in being a teen leader for camp, please complete the form below and turn it in to the Extension Office.

Summer Camp Dress Code

Printable Version

Georgia 4-H Camp Dress Guidelines for Campers and Adults
The following dress guidelines were developed to ensure a fun and safe week of camp for all!

Clothing
Pack a daily change of comfortable clothing (some days you may need or want 2 outfits). Please bring old clothes to play in and leave your nice new outfits at home. Shorts and t-shirts are ideal. Keep these clothing guidelines in mind: halter tops, backless shirts, one shoulder tops, shirts with spaghetti straps, tube tops, extremely tight clothing, visible midriffs, revealing pants, or clothing that advertises alcohol or tobacco products are NOT allowed. Sleeveless shirts and tank tops may be worn as long as they are modest, and girls’ straps need to be wide enough to touch the shoulders or at least 1 to 2 inches wide. There should also be no visible cleavage or visible undergarments (boys and girls). Boys must wear a shirt at all times except when in the pool or participating in other water-related activities. Campers should also not wear shorts that are too short or too tight. Generally, shorts need to be as long as the index finger when the arms are extended by the sides.

Swimsuits
Girls must wear a one piece bathing suit that is in good taste, not skimpy, or too revealing. Bikinis or one piece swimsuits that are extremely revealing (like those with the sides cut out) are not allowed. If you wear a swimsuit that does not meet the guidelines or is deemed inappropriate by any adult leader at camp, you must wear a cover-up (a colored larger t-shirt) during swim time. Girls need to pack a cover-up to wear to the pool or beach, or wear the swimsuit under their clothes when they leave the cabin. Boys must wear a shirt at all times except when in the pool or participating in water related activities.

Shoes
Comfortable shoes are a must. You'll need a pair of tennis shoes for walking and a pair of shoes that can get wet. Wear socks to prevent blisters. Water shoes must have a heel strap. Flip flops are not allowed except as shower shoes! Croc-type shoes are ok if the heel strap is worn on the heel, but shoes that are merely flip flops with a thin heel strap are not appropriate for camp activities. Shoes must be worn at all times except when swimming.

4-H Camp Refund Policy

To make camp available to as many campers as possible and to honor non-refundable commitments we make to companies prior to camp, the refund policy is in effect for the Georgia 4-H Summer Camping Program. The various camps have different deposit dates and varying amounts for the deposits depending on the camp and the specific commitments for each of those camps. This is a state policy and has only been modified to reflect Fayette County 4-H dates, camping locations and timelines.
