The annual 4‑H Horse Camp at Fort Robinson State Park near Crawford will be held June 11–13, 2026. The camp’s goal is to improve your skills as a horseman, build a greater bond between horse and rider, and provide useful information to enhance your expertise as a horse enthusiast. The sessions include working ranch, horse stretching, riding games, creating a rope halter and more!
The camp is open to youth ages 8-18 as well as adults. Cost for entry is $75 for youth ages 8-18, $75 for adults and $65 for adults with paid youth campers. The fee includes crafts, supper, T-shirt and a horse stall for two nights.
There is a scholarship opportunity for active 4‑H members. Another option is for youth to create a Fort Robinson Horse Camp T-shirt design. If selected for the T-shirt design or scholarship, the recipient will be reimbursed at the camp.
Forms and T-shirt designs are due by May 8 to tessa.reece@unl.edu or Nebraska Extension in Dawes County, 250 Main St., Suite 8, Chadron, NE 69337.
