Camp is open to Madison or Orange County residents, students, or 4-H club members.
They experience the great outdoors, make friends, learn new skills, become more independent, and spend time with positive role models like teen counselors, summer staff, and adults.
Every morning at camp, campers rotate through camp classes they pre-register for. There is free swim and recreation time each afternoon.
Special evening programs and campfires will take place in the large outdoor recreation areas. If it rains, we adjust accordingly and keep the camp fun going!
Each year we recruit high school students (14 and older) to serve as counselors for our camp. These teens, as well as our adult volunteers, 4-H Extension Staff, and 4-H Center Staff, complete a training series and are tested on core concepts before attending camp. Our staff is trained according to the American Camp Association requirements and you can rest assured that your child will have a safe, enjoyable experience at 4-H Camp!
Virginia’s 4-H camping program is recognized throughout the nation as a leader in 4-H camping programs. Each of the six Virginia 4-H Educational Centers has achieved and maintains American Camp Association (ACA) accreditation.
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.
4-H Camp will operate under current public health guidelines. Our team utilizes resources from the American Camp Association, Virginia Department of Health, Association for Camp Nurses and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. More details about our guidelines can be found on the Parent Resources Page.
The camp fee covers transportation to and from the camp from Orange and Madison, meals, lodging, a keepsake T-shirt, daily swimming pool access and recreation, and most classes.
