4-H Summer Camp- York County/Poquoson

Did you have a life-changing camp experience as a child? Support those experiences for the youth of York County and Poquoson! 

This year's summer camp is August 4- 8th, 2025 at the Jamestown 4-H Center. The York County and Poquoson 4-H Camp serves approximately 170 campers ages 9-13 giving them a chance to meet new friends and build skills all during an overnight camp week unplugged from technology.

 Another 15-20 youth, ages 14-18, gain valuable leadership experience either as teen counselors or counselors in training. Many come back as either adult volunteers or to serve as camp staff at the 4-H Center and continue to give back to the community.

Camp may only be one week of the year but the impacts can last a lifetime!

Your gifts will be used to support a number of camp-related expenses and experiences for the youth in York County and Poquoson. From t-shirts and training, to camp scholarships, your gift makes a difference.

Some of our teen counselors had this to say about their camp experiences:

I wanted to become a counselor because:

"I enjoy helping others and wanted to share the joy of camp "- Ian, 4th year counselor

"Originally, I was forced into going to camp, and I thought I would HATE it. I left camp begging to go back." - Kamilla, 2nd year counselor
