Dear 4-H members, families, volunteers, and supporters:

It is with a heavy heart that I share this news with you.

Due to ongoing health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the decision has been made to cancel all Ohio State University Extension in-person programming through July 6. 

This includes all 4-H programs, activities, and events. Additionally, we’ve made the very difficult decision to cancel all 4-H camps through Aug. 31. 

Although in-person programming is canceled, we will continue to offer virtual 4-H experiences.
