Camper & Counselor Eligibility

Who can attend 4-H Camp?

Campers must be at least 9 years old by September 30th of the camp year to participate in the full camp experience.

Interested in leadership opportunities?

Teens age 14 are eligible to serve as Counselors-in-Training (CITs) – a great way to gain leadership experience and get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to be a camp counselor.

Teens ages 15–18 can apply to become Teen Camp Counselors, where they’ll help lead activities, mentor campers, and build lifelong skills.

Note: This role requires an application and participation in mandatory training sessions.

For the safety of all participants, counselors who are 18 years old must complete a background check.
