Refund Policy:
If your child is unable to attend camp, we will refund camp fees paid, minus a $25 non-refundable processing fee if you cancel before April 1. No refunds will be issued after April 1, 2025 except in case of medical or family emergency, or camp cancelation by Albemarle/Charlottesville 4-H. Between 2 weeks before and up to the day of camp, if for medical reasons youth are not admitted into camp, a refund minus the required deposit will be provided. If youth have to leave camp once they have checked in due to an exposure, a partial refund will be prorated and granted.
Please note that refunds are processed through Virginia Tech and take approximately 6-8 weeks to process.
When enrolling your child in 4HOnline please be sure to:
Select "Albemarle" as the Unit/County
Select "Albemarle/Charlottesville 4-H Camp" for the Club
Select "Personal Development" for the Project
List a different emergency contact than parents/guardians listed in the form.
Please use the google form emailed by the 4-H Office in May to select your camp classes and request bunkmates. Classes will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis. Classes will only be assigned if you have paid in full and completed 4-H Online Enrollment.
Youth who turn 9 by the start of Camp, and are no older than 13 by January 1, 2025, can attend as Campers.
Teen Counselors are 14 by January 1, 2025 through 19 years old, and have completed the 9th grade. For information on becoming a Teen Counselor please see the Teen Counselor page
CITs are also known as Counselors-in-Training. While at camp, these youth learn what it takes to be a camp counselor and get the chance to participate in some leadership activities themselves!
If your child is age 13 by January 1, 2025 and completed the 8th grade, they are eligible to attend as a Counselor in Training (CIT)
There is no separate fee to be a CIT. You pay the regular Camper fee. There is also no separate enrollment for CITs. You fill out the regular camp registration form. You are placed in the class automatically depending on your birth date.
The CIT class will cover leadership skills, how to identify camper issues, and what skill sets counselors need among other topics. This usually is a two-period class in conjunction with Low Ropes, though this is dependent on the number of youth who are eligible to be CITs in a given year.
As a CIT at 4-H Camp, youth are given the opportunity to participate in some leadership roles, though policy doesn't allow for CITs to be in sole control of a group of youth. Examples of leadership roles include: taking attendance, helping at meal times, leading their groups during campfire, etc.
After camp, CITs are placed on an email list so that when counselor applications become available, they receive them as well. For more information about becoming a counselor, please click on the "Teen Counselors" tab.
