4-H Camp
The Camp year for 2025 is HERE!
Day Camp
Day camps give kids the chance to build character, learn life skills, make friends, and discover new interests. Each camp includes fun educational and recreational activities. Most camps feature field trips and swimming. Children should bring a lunch each day, preferably in a small cooler.
Registration is first come, first served, and payment must be made in full at sign‑up. With their first camp registration, each child will receive one camp t‑shirt.
Parents are welcome to volunteer during camp. To do so, they must complete volunteer forms before camp begins and pass a background check.
