4-H Camps: Open to YOUth

Did you know you don’t have to be a 4-H member to attend a North Carolina 4-H youth camp? Any youth can enroll in the 4-H camp programs through their county 4-H program or by open enrollment. Activities range widely, from team building/leadership skills and challenge courses to nature studies and recreational pursuits toward healthy living. The three camp centers in North Carolina are Millstone in Ellerbe (Piedmont–Sandhills); Betsy-Jeff Penn in Reidsville (Upper Piedmont); and Eastern 4-H in Columbia (Coast).
