(As an added bonus, enrolled members get instant notifications to register for county events – like summer camps – and much more!) 4-H membership is FREE and is now required to participate in county 4-H programs. If you are not interested in joining a 4-H club, that is no problem. Just make sure to select “Chatham Members At Large” as your club selection in 4-HOnline.
- After completing 4-HOnline enrollment, 4-H staff will approve your initial enrollment which will allow you to see the available camp offerings for Summer 2023.

If you are seeking assistance from a need-based scholarship, please consult the linked letter/application form and contact Bobbie (bobbie_mclean@ncsu.edu) or Ginger (gimclaur@ncsu.edu) for additional information/help.
- ONLY after 4-HOnline enrollments have been approved, additional paperwork received (BJP Camp only), and payment submitted to the 4-H office, are campers formally registered for camp. Staff are unable to hold spaces for youth who have not completed all registration steps.
