CAMP INSIGHT
Prior to 2012, Clover Woods Camp & Retreat Center, formerly the Iowa 4-H Center, was operated cooperatively by the Iowa 4-H Foundation and the Iowa 4-H Program. Over the past 10 years, average 4-H’er attendance at Clover Woods was only 528 individuals, accounting for less than 1% of 4-H’ers across the state. Proceeds from the sale of camp property would be used to create program funds to provide for consistent, predictable income for 4-H program staff to depend on as they plan for ways to grow the 4-H Program. We know that the former 4-H Center holds many happy memories for 4-H alums who were campers, counselors and staff, and that this decision will be disappointing to many. The Foundation view's this opportunity as a new chapter for the 4-H Foundation, and will do their best to honor the legacy of those who have come before them by continuing to support 4-H camping programs across the state and investing the proceeds to benefit as many 4-H’ers as possible for many years to come.
