LDC is held at the Renaissance Hotel in Denver. LDC is held in conjunction with 4-H Day at the Capital, where youth get to spend the morning at the State Capital, sometimes they even get to meet with the Governor.  Typically held the last weekend in January with 4-H Day at the Capital on Monday.
      • Youth Fest The State 4-H Senate officer team plans and conducts a camp for 4-H members ages 9-13. Youth will be able to participate in many different activities throughout the weekend including the famous “Dancing” workshop. Youth learn valuable skills that youth can take back and utilize in their counties. The camp usually takes place in early February, from Friday night through Sunday morning at Ponderosa Camp grounds in Larkspur.
      • State 4-H Conference State Conference is the hallmark youth conference in Colorado. Youth participate in a number of workshops and leadership building activities, as well as compete in a number of various state wide contests that youth have prepared for throughout the year. Held at Colorado State University, youth have the opportunity to state in College dorm rooms and experience a taste of college life.  It is typically held the third week in June.
      • Colorado Leadership Camp (CLC) This conference is designed for 6th to 9th Grade students and is held in Glenwood Springs. Youth are able to attend hands-on workshops to develop and enhance leadership skills. This is a fun place for youth to meet other 4-H members from across the state.  It is typically held in the fall.

Sportsmanship Guidelines

The development of sportsmanship is an important part of growing up. To become contributing, competent, caring, capable adults, youth must develop sportsmanship. It’s important for people to be fair and generous competitors, good losers, and graceful winners. All participants in 4-H, County Fair, and other youth programs are expected to demonstrate the elements of sportsmanship before, during, and after their participation.
