The deadline for 4-H Camper Registration has been extended to June 1.  Registration is still first come, first serve.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fairfax, Arlington, and Alexandria 4-H Junior Camp will be held at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center July 15 -19. Camp is open to youth age 9 - 13.  This year the camp fee is $285 and includes meals and lodging for five days and four nights, transportation, a camp t-shirt, and class supplies.  Campers have the opportunity to pick their roommates if they like, and are then placed in a room with campers of similar age.  Each day, campers go to three different classes that they choose prior to arriving at camp.  There is free swim and recreation time each day, as well as evening programs and a campfire.   More information about our camp can be found in the 2012 4-H Camp Brochure (PDF | 453KB) or in the 4-H Camp Orientation (PPT | 9MB) .

Adults can camp too!

We are always looking for some adult volunteers to attend camp as chaperones.  Adults camp for free and many employers offer up to two days of community service leave that you can take advantage of to come to camp.  We prefer that volunteers commit to the full camp, but we may also be able to work out some shorter volunteer arrangements.  If you are interested, please send the following documents to Lenah Nguyen at 12011 Government Center Parkway, 10th Floor, Fairfax, VA 22035:
