St. John Parish 4-H

🚨 JR. LEADERS… IT’S GAME TIME. 🚨
We’re kicking off the season with something BIG—registration is now open for the St. John Parish Jr. Leader Retreat! For the first time ever, we’re going overnight at Tickfaw State Park AND opening the doors to 7th graders, so now all 7th–12th graders can be part of the squad. This is where the year gets started—🔥 PLAN what you want to see, 🤝 TEAM UP with your crew, and 🏆 LEAD in a bigger way. You don’t have to attend the retreat to be a Jr. Leader, but if you want to start strong, get connected, and be in the game from Day 1, this is where you need to be. Spots are limited, so don’t wait—check out all the details and register here: https://www.lsuagcenter.com/articles/page1780499484548. Let’s build something special this year.

A tip from Mr. Xavier! Let’s make sure everyone is safe, comfortable, and ready to enjoy every moment! When it comes to footwear, closed-toe shoes are required at all water locations like the pond and creek, and campers should not wear flip-flops or any open-toe shoes while moving around the campgrounds. Flip-flops and open-toe shoes are perfectly fine for the bathhouse, but not for daily camp activities. And yes—Crocs are allowed, but they must be worn in sports mode so they stay secure. Let’s get our campers geared up and ready for an amazing week at camp!
