Summer is quickly approaching, and many students and their parents are making
plans for summer break, some of which may include summer camp. If you enjoy making
friends, being active and learning about the environment, 4-H camp could be a perfect
summer activity for you.
4-H camps are open to all Kentucky youth graduating out of the 3rd grade up to 15 years of age. Many exciting activities and adventures await campers. Students can
spend their days participating in activities ranging from swimming to archery. Not only
do many youth find these activities fun, but they will likely learn new skills and develop a
greater appreciation for the environment and wildlife.
4-H personnel want your child to have a camping experience that is not only
memorable, but safe. All 4-H camp staff and volunteers are trained and undergo
background checks prior to camp. Each camp location will have an on-site health care
provider at all times to take care of campers’ needs.
Carter County 4-H youth will attend North Central 4-H Camp in Carlisle, Kentucky
from July 1-5, 2024. The cost of 4-H Camp is $150 per person which includes
transportation, lodging, 3 meals a day, two snacks a day and class materials. Some
of the classes offered at North Central 4-H Camp include swimming, archery, fishing,
crafts, high ropes, nature, canoeing, trapshooting, and many more. Applications are
available at the Carter County Extension Office.

Extension Service at 94 Fairground Drive, Grayson, KY 41143 or by phone at
