We are getting ready for a great week of camp! Our counselors are chosen, and camp spaces are filling. Camp is open to youth who will be 9 by September 30, 2026, and who have not turned 14 before January 1, 2026. Youth who will be 13 before January 1 may participate as Counselors in Training (CITs), with an application available for those interested in becoming future teen counselors. Campers spend the week building independence, resilience, and friendships while trying activities like archery, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, field sports, cooking, guitar, marine science, swimming, and more. Evenings bring campfires, group games, carnival, and plenty of opportunities to connect and belong. 4-H Camp at Jamestown 4-H Educational Center — Gloucester Week, June 8–12
