Interested in attending 4-H Overnight Camp? Want to know why you should choose 4-H Overnight Camp for the summer?

For more than 80 years, North Carolina 4-H camping has taught youth life skills through centers located from the mountains to the sandhills to the coast. Each year, more than 4,000 campers from across the state participate in 4-H camping programs at North Carolina’s 4-H educational centers. Sponsoring a youth to attend 4-H Camp will provide a safe, secure, and healthy environment to explore life-long adventures.

The mission of the 4-H camping program is to use natural and social environments to provide age-appropriate learning experiences.  The 4-H camp also provides young people an opportunity to develop life skills in a safe and fun-filled setting with qualified and nurturing camp staff.  All 4-H residential camps are accredited by the American Camp Association.

The hands-on learning experiences they will participate in are canoeing, archery, swimming, horseback riding, ropes/ challenge course, and recreational activities. These life skills will expand their confidence levels in teamwork, communication, self-esteem, and self-reliance.

This summer, Forsyth County 4-H will be taking a group of youth ages 8-14 to Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Educational Center in Reidsville, NC. The cost for camp attendance is $525.00 per child, which covers boarding, food, staff, and activities for the week ( if paying with cash, check, or money office in person). Payments will be accepted in person at 1450 Fairchild Rd. Winston-Salem, NC 27105.

If you have any questions or need a payment plan, please contact Dr. Monique Pearce-Brady, dmpearc3@ncsu.edu, or April Bowman, awbowman@ncsu.edu.
