CAMPS
About Our Camps
Camping is kids learning about leadership, caring, and community through activities like swimming, boating, creative arts, horsemanship, backpacking, fishing, and archery. Although the activities change from camp to camp, the results are the same- learning by doing, and having non-stop FUN!
There are nine 4-H Camps throughout New York State, serving campers from every county in the state. 4-H Camps are open to all young people, whether or not they are enrolled as 4-H members. All of these camps offer traditional Resident Camp programs and some also offer Day Camps and shortened overnight programs for younger campers. In addition, several camps are offering Specialty Camps such as 4-H Science Camps, or programs for unique audiences (Autism, At-Risk Youth, and more).
