2021 4-H Junior Summer Camp

We really missed 4-H camp last summer but we are very excited to start planning for camp in 2021. 4-H Junior Summer Camp is scheduled for August 2-6, 2021 at Jamestown 4-H Educational Center in Williamsburg. Registration for campers ages 9-13 will open April 17, 2021. More details about camper registration will be coming soon!

Now accepting applications for Teen Counselors and Counselors-in-Training for 2021 4-H Summer Camp

Youth that are 14 (must be 14 between Oct. 1, 2020 and Sept. 30, 2021) can apply to serve as Counselors-in-Training (CITs) during 4-H Junior Summer Camp and teens ages 15-18 (must be 15 by September 30, 2021) can apply to serve as Teen Counselors.

Applications and references are due January 29, 2021. Visit https://www.york.ext.vt.edu to print applications and to learn more.

There are many unknowns to camp this year and camp will probably look differently than it has in the past. We may not be able to take as many campers and teen counselors as normal, but at this time we simply do not know. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call. We can be reached at 757-890-4940 or racheleverheart@vt.edu.
