Why is 4-H Summer Camp so inexpensive ?  At $250 we offer a great Camp program that is well organized that includes room and board for six nights and seven days.  Most comparable camps charge much more.  4-H camp is a non-profit program and is supported entirely by the staff, adult volunteers, leaders, resource people and kitchen staff that are all 4-H members and volunteers.  The only exception is the Camp Nurse who is fully licensed, experienced and on site full time..

L.A. County 4-H Summer Camp is an Accredited Camp by the American Camping Association and offers the following activities daily: nature, handicrafts, ping pong, basketball, swimming, hiking, fishing, volleyball, horseshoes and more.  Each evening after flag lowering we light a fire in the firecircle, sing traditional camp songs and are entertained by a different event each night.  Past evening programs have included, Team Games, Talent Show, Haunted Walk, Movie Night, Graduation Ceremony and the Dance.

The meals are healthy, well-balanced and prepared by a kitchen staff anchored by Head Chef, Mary Lash.  Mary has over 55 years of experience teaching food preparation in the public schools and has been attending 4-H camp for over 60 years.  With so many activities and a full schedule the week at 4-H Camp goes by quickly.  Reserve your spot today with a non-refundable $30 deposit.
