Summer Camp Scholarships

2024 Summer Camp Scholarships will be available for pick up in early spring at the Sevier County Extension Office.

Check back after the new year for more information! Scholarships can be used for any overnight camp (Jr 4-H Camp, Jr High Camp, Target Smart Camp, Creative Arts, and Design Camp, Electric Camp, etc.)!

Scholarship applications MUST be returned by March 10 at 5 pm. Scholarships are available to everyone and are based on financial need. Scholarship recipients will be notified by March 31, 2024. Contact us at 865-453-3695 with any questions!

For the summer of 2023, Sevier County 4-H gave out over $8,000 in scholarships to over 140 4-Hers. We hope to top this in 2024! This was only possible because of the support from our community members and sponsors. Donations are used to reduce the cost of camps for our 4-Hers. Interested in donating to our overnight camps? Use the button below to donate! Thank you for helping make camp possible for our 4-Hers!


Please note that if school is canceled due to inclement weather, any 4-H event, club meeting, or workshop scheduled for that day is also canceled.
