National 4-H Camping Programs

Intensive 4-H camping experiences in natural resource areas help youth understand the science associated with forest/range/wetland/coastal ecosystems and the impact of human activities. Camps are characterized by high adult/youth ratios, multi-agency support and youth process skill development. Youth develop an appreciation for the decisions that must be made by professionals and elected officials responsible for managing these systems. Youth will be better prepared to make responsible and defensible decisions supporting the sustainability of these ecosystems as a result of their participation in these camps.
