1. Who may apply for scholarships for Hidden Valley 4-H Camp. Our 1st priority is serving Schuyler County Youth.

3. What is the deadline for applications? April 30, 2025. Our Hidden Valley 4-H Camp Advisory Committee sets the rates and determines scholarship awards, and they will meet in early May 2025.

Please Note: Hidden Valley 4-H Camp has limited scholarships to award each year. We review all applications at the end of May as the scholarship application process is open through April 30th. We do not offer any award announcements prior to May 31st. We offer full and partial scholarships. We also offer priority to campers who are only able to attend the week they are asking for camp scholarship funds to attend. Camp Scholarships are given as a priority to campers who are unable to attend Camp, and we typically do not award scholarships to campers who attend more than one week of camp, although each scholarship application is reviewed individually.
