Since 1941, Holiday Lake 4-H Educational Center has held Summer 4-H Youth Camp.

More than 2,000 campers from Central Virginia camp at the 4-H Center each year.

Due to COVID-19, the state 4-H Office has canceled 4-H Summer Camp this year. This is the first time in 79 years summer camp has been canceled.

The center’s mission is to “improve the quality of life through educating youth and adults in a natural setting.” The staff is dedicated to educating youth, and even with the closure remain committed to educate youth at home during these challenging times.

This summer, Holiday Lake 4-H Educational Center will offer, at no cost, the following 10 weeks of virtual 4-H Camp at home. Each week has a theme, and a variety of activities and resources will be available. Activities will be led by former and current summer staff, extension agents, and our many 4-H friends and volunteers.
