NE-HENRICO-4HCAMP - 2025 Henrico/Richmond City 4-H Junior Camp

Description

2025 Henrico/Richmond City 4-H Jr Camp

4-H summer overnight camp provides youth countless opportunities to learn more about themselves, their peers and the natural    world around them. Days are filled with camp classes (archery, kayaking, sailing, robotics, videography, marine science, challenge course, woodworking, arts and crafts, and much more!), unstructured recreation and swim time, flag ceremonies, evening programs, and campfires. Our main focus during camp is to help youth develop independence, self-esteem, confidence, interpersonal skills and other life skills.

The camp fee includes meals and lodging for five days and four nights, a daily snack, all activities, camp t-shirt, and class supplies. Transportation is not provided to and from camp.
