Collapse ▲Summer Camp with North Carolina 4-H at Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Educational Center!
Looking for a summer experience that combines adventure, learning, and lasting memories? Overnight summer camp at the Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Educational Center offers the perfect opportunity for youth ages 8-17 (age as of 1st day at camp session) to connect with nature, make new friends, learn life skills, gain confidence, and have fun! Camp registration includes transportation to and from camp, three meals a day, and five nights of lodging.
Information for the summer 2026 4-H Camp will be coming soon, this fall! If you are interested in sending a camper(s) to 4-H camp with Mecklenburg County this summer, please fill out this interest form: 4-H Summer Camp Interest – Mecklenburg
Please note, filling out the interest form does not guarantee your camper(s) spot at camp. More information, including dates, cost, and registration will be coming soon.
In the past, Mecklenburg County 4-H has attended the Betsy-Jeff Penn (BJP) 4-H Educational Center in Reidsville, North Carolina in the first or second week of July for camp.
Camp Options:
- Traditional Camp (ages 8-12): This is the classic residential, six-day summer camping experience for children ages 8-12. Children are placed in single gender cabins alongside trained adult counselors for lodging and in co-ed activity groups according to age for activities throughout the day. Campers participate in a variety of activities including canoeing, archery, rock wall climbing, swimming, arts & crafts, campfires, nature exploration, teambuilding, high ropes and more!
- Adventure Camp (ages 12-14): In addition to regular residential camping activities, Adventure campers learn fire building, orienteering, outdoor cooking, tent set-up and have the opportunity to go down the zip-line at high ropes. It also includes a unique two-night on-site camp out where campers make campfire meals and stay in single gender tents they set up.
- Trekker Camp (ages 12-14): Trekker campers participate in an over-night, off-site camp-out for one night. Prior to the trip, Trekkers learn advanced canoeing skills on Lake Hazel and climbing skills using our climbing wall and high ropes course. Trekkers spend much of their time at camp learning specialized skills in preparation for their trip so do not participate in many of the normal camp activities like archery, crafts, etc. An additional waiver form is required to participate.
- Leader-in-Training (LIT) Program (Ages 15-17): The LIT program is designed to help older campers develop leadership skills. LITS are assigned to a staff mentor for the week and spend time assisting with behind the scenes details, and also participate in team building and leadership activities.
