Junior Summer Camp

Welcome to 4-H Junior Summer Camp

Get ready for a week full of adventure, laughter, and lifelong memories at Junior 4-H Summer Camp! This overnight, residential camp is designed for youth ages 9–13 from York County and the City of Poquoson and takes place at the beautiful Jamestown 4-H Educational Center in Williamsburg, VA.

Whether it’s your first time at camp or you’re a returning camper, every day is packed with activities that are fun, hands-on, and full of discovery. From splashing around in the pool to exploring the great outdoors, Junior 4-H Camp is the perfect place to learn new skills, make friends, and grow as a person.
