Apply for county and state achievement awards, scholarships, camps and conferences using the Ohio 4-H Achievement Record.

If you are a current 4-H member who will have passed your 14th birthday (but not yet passed your 19th birthday) by January 1, 2025, you are considered to be eligible for these opportunities. However, in order to compete for awards selection and recognition, you must complete and submit an Ohio 4-H Achievement Record Form.

Making eXtreme Counselors - MXC
Older youth age 14 to 18 who plan to serve as camp counselors are invited to Making eXtreme Counselors (MXC)--an interactive and quick-paced training that offers innovative camp ideas to new and veteran camp counselors. MXC participants will leave with skills that will enable them to assist in their county's camp program planning and delivery, and prepare them to deliver a great camp program to their campers.
MXC is a national award-winning workshop that will be useful for all potential camp counselors. Don't miss your chance to participate—the event will be offered in person again in 2024, during the weekend of February 22-23, 2025. Counselors will earn camp counselor training hours while attending this event (number of hours is determined by county). All participants will be able to share and gain ideas with teens from other counties all across the state. County Extension Professionals and Camp Directors are NOT required to attend with their counselors. Agenda and registration materials can be found at: https://ohio4h.org/camp/mxc-workshop
