Every year, we enlist teen volunteers aged 14 and older to act as counselors at our camp. These teens, alongside our adult volunteers, 4-H Extension Staff, and 4-H Center Staff, undergo a comprehensive training series. They are evaluated on core concepts before they join the camp. Our staff training adheres to the standards set by the American Camp Association. You can trust that your child will have a secure and delightful experience at 4-H Camp!
National Accreditation
National Accreditation
Virginia's 4-H camping program stands out nationally as a frontrunner in 4-H camping initiatives. The six Virginia 4-H Educational Centers have attained and upheld accreditation from the American Camp Association (ACA).
Parents and guardians are encouraged to seek the ACA seal when choosing a camp for their child. Approximately 25 percent of camps nationwide hold ACA accreditation, making it the esteemed camp accreditation body in the United States. ACA accreditation signifies that a camp meets the highest benchmarks for safety, food service, staffing, healthcare, and program quality.
Each 4-H Educational Center consistently upholds these standards annually. Moreover, all 300 standards are subject to review every three years for reaccreditation. Every staff member of the 4-H center program, alongside adult and teen 4-H volunteers participating in the camp, undergoes rigorous selection and comprehensive training before the camping event
