4-H Camp for summer 2019 is bringing some new and different elements. Please read carefully.

Changes to expect this year:

Transportation

Transportation to and from camp will not be provided due to major insurance requirements for charter buses. Parents must drop off and pick-up their child from the Jamestown 4-H Center.

3751 4-H Club Road
Williamsburg, VA 23185

Upside:

  • We are able to pass the cost savings directly on to our families  (camp 2019 will be $295/camper - $25 less than the 2018 fee)
  • Bonding time in the car with your child on the way to camp to help build their excitement (in case there are any nerves for new campers!)
  • Parents/guardians get to see 4-H Camp in person, and settle their child in on the first day – this is probably the #1 question I get from new families (what is camp like/what are the facilities like?)
  • No waiting on the buses at the Fairgrounds – again probably one of the few complaints we get from parents each year is the unpredictability of our Friday arrival time

Downside:

  • Inconveniences for some of our parents as you juggle work and personal schedules.
  • Barrier for a few families altogether who will not be able to personally transport their child.

Camp Store/Care Packages

Camp store and care packages will be done earlier and at the same time as registration.

We heard the parent feedback and we are responding .

  • We will offer a great selection of items at the same time you register your child to hopefully make this a less stressful process!
  • New items offered, so look for that on our website as well (hoodies, water bottles, plush animals, and more!)

Age Requirements

Camper must turn age 9 between October 1, 2018 and September 30, 2019. Counselors in Training (CIT) must turn 13 as of January 1, 2019.  Please use the CIT link below if your child wants to do camp as CIT. Please sign up for CIT if your camper is interested in being a counselor in future.
