Overview
Along the shores of the James River, the Jamestown 4-H Educational Center serves as the host site for 4-H Junior Camp for children ages 9-13. We serve 23 localities in Southeastern VA offering 8 weeks of sleep-over camp for more than 2000 children and teens each season.
4-H Junior camp allows campers to gain independence, confidence and “learn by doing” experiences through hands-on experiential programs. Program activities include:
Boating
(Canoeing / Kayaking / SUP)
Swimming
Creative Arts

Athletics

Shooting Sports

STEAM programs and teen leadership
