Attire: The dedication will take place outside. Wear comfortable shoes and your favorite 4-H camp attire!
Health & Safety Protocol: The health and safety of campers, guests and staff is our highest priority. The Kansas 4-H Foundation monitors health guidelines provided by the CDC, KDHE, KSRE, local health departments and the American Camp Association. Current guidelines state that masks are optional when outdoors. Handwashing & sanitation stations are available to guests.
In the case of inclement weather, the dedication will be moved to Heritage Hall in Spencer Auditorium. In case of a move indoors, Foundation and RSR staff encourage guests to determine their level of comfort relative to COVID safety. Masks are strongly encouraged for all non-vaccinated individuals, and Spencer Auditorium allows for physical distancing.
We look forward to celebrating the achievements of youth philanthropists and honoring the generosity of donors who contributed to the construction of the new Leadership Adventure Course!

Meet the Youth Philanthropy Ambassadors!
These Kansas 4-H members were selected as the 2020 National 4-H Conference Delegates for Kansas. Like many other events with the COVID-19 health concerns, the conference was canceled. Determined to not let the year stop them from making an impact, these six leaders joined together and created the Endorse the Course challenge for Kansas 4-H Clubs to contribute to the new Leadership Adventure Course.
