Hello, this is Nicki Carpenter, 4-H Youth Development Extension Agent with the North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Burke Center.

Burke County 4-H will be attending the Eastern 4-H Center in Columbia, North Carolina, for our 2024 week-long overnight 4-H Summer Camp.  4-H Summer Camp is for youth ages 9 to 14. Camp consist of 5 overnights in group cabins, meals in the camp dining hall, team-building among age-divided groups, leadership, skill building, and lifelong memories of an unforgettable 4-H experience. Why Kids need camp more now than ever:
4-H CAMP PROMOTES PHYSICAL HEALTH Combined with activities like swimming, kayaking, horseback riding, hiking and more,

4-H CAMP TEACHES RESPONSIBILITY For many, 4-H camp is a first experience cleaning a cabin or setting a table. It may also be the first time campers work with others to overcome challenges.

4-H CAMP TEACHES INDEPENDENCE Children are encouraged to push their boundaries, step out of their comfort zones and grow self-confidence necessary to become independent.

4-H CAMP BUILDS AFFINITY FOR NATURE Far from the digital screens at home, 4-H campers are fully immersed in the natural world.

Take advantage of this opportunity with Burke County 4-H. Again the dates are June 16-21. To sign up or get more information, you can call our office at 828-764-9480.
