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 8-14 (at time of camp) 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.

Mecklenburg County 4-H will attend the Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Educational Center in Reidsville, North Carolina from July 6th – 11th, 2025.

This year, the total cost of camp is $636 in total. This $56 non-refundable registration fee reserves a camper’s spot.

Registration opens on Wednesday, March 26th at 8:00 a.m. Please register your camper as their age as of July 6th, 2025 (first day of camp).

To register, pay the $56 non-refundable registration fee to reserve your camper’s spot through the registration fee event page on Eventbrite here: Reserve your Spot! The camp registration link will be live on March 26th, 2025, at 8:00 a.m.

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.
