Spend a week at sleepaway camp with Haywood County 4-H! We have three amazing residential camps in our state that are accredited by the American Camp Association with all of the traditional camp opportunities: arts & crafts, canoes, swimming, climbing wall, hiking, campfires, cabins, and camp songs!
We have summer camp options for ages 8-12 (traditional camp) and ages 13-14 (adventure/trekker). Adventure campers do normal camp activities but also do an on-site camping experience. Trekkers do not do normal camp activities and prepare for an overnight canoeing & rock climbing adventure at the end of the week. Camp fees cover a t-shirt and $15 in the camp store.
Haywood County 4-H will be going to Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Educational Center from June 21-26, 2026!You may select other camps or camping dates and enroll through Haywood County 4-H for our rates and scholarship information, but will have to manage transportation on your own. Please contact our office for more information on other sleepaway camp offerings if you are interested!
Camp cost is $600 for 2026 --- BUT know that we have funding options:
- Active Haywood County 4-H members are eligible for a 100% camp scholarship for 2026. We have 10 scholarships that are on a first-come, first-serve basis.
- We have additional fundraising and scholarship options for non-4-H families who are interested in attending summer camp with us. Please contact our office for details!
- NC 4-H has a scholarship program that is income/needs based for families --- those applications will be available in the spring of 2026
***If you want to go to camp and have financial issues, we will make sure to do everything we can to get your child to summer camp!***
If you are interested in attending summer camp in 2026, have questions or concerns, or just want to talk about all of the options --- call/email me at 828-456-3575 or srdixon@ncsu.edu
