For more than 80 years, North Carolina 4-H camping has taught youth life skills through centers located from the mountains to the sand hills to the coast. Each year, more than 4,000 campers from across the state participate in 4-H camping programs at North Carolina’s 4-H educational centers. Thousands more participate in conferences, school enrichment programs, special events, and workshops. We are gearing up for our 2026, 4-H camping season and recruiting youth to attend camp.

If you have a child that would like to attend 4-H camp next summer please let us know, spots fill up fast. It is important to reserve spots in the fall so all the available camping spots do not fill up and your child has an opportunity to attend one of our awesome camps.  We will be pre-registering for the 2026 Summer Camp sessions now through December 25th.  If cost is an issue please call Shannon Coleman, 828-837--2210 ext. 4 to discuss camp scholarship opportunities.
