We are excited to see your children at camp! We are looking forward to a terrific week at Jamestown 4-H Educational Center, and have already begun training our camp counselors. 4-H Camp is a terrific opportunity for youth to learn citizenship, leadership, and life skills through hands-on experiences while making lasting friendships and enjoying a fun-filled week on the James River. Campers enjoy being part of a larger group and participating in campfires, recreation, and classes which may include archery, dance, canoe, kayak, swimming, arts and crafts, outdoor living skills, challenge course, marine science, camp sports, gau-gau, and more! If you'd like additional information, we are just a phone call away (804-693-2602).
Camp is for youth aged 9 by September 30, 2026, and who did not reach their 14th birthday before January 1, 2026.
Youth aged 13 before January 1 may enroll as a camper and/or attend camp as a counselor in training (CIT). A separate application will be sent to attend as a CIT after normal registration. The camp fee stays the same.
Youth who reached their 14th birthday prior to January 1, 2026 must apply to attend camp as a counselor.
