4-H North-Central Regional Summer Camp

For decades, parents have trusted 4-H camps to help young people build resilience by engaging in positive risks. If we want our children to be able to bounce back from adversity, stress, challenges and failures, teaching them resilience is key. Having experiences outside their comfort zones, like camp, helps young people become more independent and better able to plan and reach their long-term goals. At 4-H camp, children learn critical life skills and independence.

Safety is our first concern. 4-H camps are carefully reviewed to ensure they meet program guidelines. We perform background checks on youth and adults who work as counselors and train them to manage any needs that a young person might have. Camp experiences are available for young people with an array of physical and developmental needs. It is important to share any information that is needed to help your child when you register them for the camp experience.

4-H camps promote Youth Development principles:

  • Competence in lifetime skills
  • Confidence in self and others
  • Connection fellow 4-H members, 4-H leaders, and nature
  • Caring for themselves, their peers, leaders and the environment
  • Character for today’s experiences and tomorrow’s challenges
