Adventure Camp is a place where we all come together. Please do not pack anything derogatory, vulgar, violent, offensive, drug/alcohol/tobacco related, knives or divisive clothing or items. This includes: risqué clothing as well as overt political statements. Everything we do at camp is through the lens of our 4-H values of head, heart, hands, and health.  



Lost or Stolen Property

Things often get misplaced or lost during camp. Make sure you label your child's belongings to help things not get lost. If you think your child left something at camp please email idaho4Hadventurecamp@uidaho.edu and we will do what we can to locate and return it to you.


The Camp will take reasonable security measures to safeguard participants' belongings. However, participants and their parents/guardians understand that it is ultimately their responsibility to ensure the security of their personal property.


The Camp, its staff, and affiliates shall not be held liable for any loss, theft, or damage to personal property during the camp session. This includes but is not limited to electronic devices, jewelry, clothing, or any other personal belongings.
