4-H Camp is for youth turning 9 before September 30, 2025, through age 13. Youth ages 14-19 serve as teen leaders and play an important role working with your camper. If you are between the ages of 14-19 and are interested in becoming a Counselor in Training (CIT) or a Counselor, click here.
*Best way to determine age eligible is to ask, "How old will my child be on 09/30/2025?" If the answer is 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13 then they are age eligible to be a camper.

Campers are able to select classes to participate in throughout the week. These classes utilize a hands-on approach to learning and enable the participant to gain life skills.
Each day includes free recreation time, accompanied by evening programs and campfire gatherings. Past evening programs have included activities such as a carnival, a talent show and a dance
No electronics are allowed at camp including phones! This is a great way for youth to disconnect from social media and games to practice social skills, explore the outdoors, and learn important life skills.
Why 4H Camp?
Why 4H Camp?
Virginia's 4-H camping program is one of the leading programs in the nation. Virginia 4-H camp maintains its accreditation with the American Camp Association (ACA). Children who attend 4-H camp learn critical life skills, are able to explore their passions and are immersed in the full summer camp experience.
Parents and guardians should always look for the ACA seal when selecting a camp for their child to attend. Only about 25 percent of all camps in the nation are accredited by the ACA, the recognized camp accreditation organization in the United States. Having ACA accreditation means that the camp meets the highest standards for safety, food service and staffing, health care, and program quality.
Each 4-H Educational Center maintains these standards annually. Additionally, all 300 standards are reviewed every three years for reaccreditation. Each 4-H center program staff person, as well as the adult and teen 4-H volunteers who participate in camp, are carefully selected and trained prior to the camping event.
