2025 Henrico Junior 4-H Summer Camp
4-H Junior camp provides youth countless opportunities to learn more about themselves, their peers, and the natural world around them. Days are filled with camp classes (archery, kayaking, athletic sports, marine science, challenge course, photography, arts and crafts, and much more!), unstructured recreation and swim time, flag ceremonies, evening programs, and campfires. Our main focus during camp is to help youth develop independence, self-esteem, confidence, interpersonal skills, and other life skills. To attend, youth must turn 9 by 9/30/25 and no older than 14 by 1/1/25. Join us at 4-H Camp!
Food Safety During a Power Outage
Winter storms can cause power outages that disable refrigerators and freezers. If you experience a power outage, keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. A refrigerator will keep food cold for about 4 hours if the door is kept closed. A full freezer will hold its temperature for about 48 hours (24 hours if half-full).

Henrico 4-H Youth Development
The youth development education program of Virginia Cooperative Extension, 4-H is rich with learning experiences in which young people partner with caring adults and volunteers in a fellowship unlike any other program available to youth today. Through 4-H, young people are encouraged to participate in a variety of activities that emphasize 4-H’s “learning by doing” philosophy of youth development. We bring research-based information from our land grant universities – Virginia Tech and Virginia State University – to the youth in our community. The mission of 4-H is to develop leadership, citizenship, and life skills.
Last year, Henrico County 4-H had over 6,000 youth enrolled in 4-H programming and 175 youth and adult volunteers! Learn more…
