The $300 cost to attend includes meals and lodging for five days and four nights, programs, class materials and a camp T-shirt. Transportation is not provided this year. Scholarship assistance may be available. Registration forms must be returned by mail, with checks or money orders made payable to “Henrico 4-H Fund.” Full payment is due by Wednesday, June 1.

The Jamestown 4-H Educational Center offers woods and open spaces along the James River as well as amenities that include air-conditioned lodges and cabins, archery and rifle ranges, a swimming pool, a river pier and an aquatics resource center.

Accredited by the American Camp Association, the camp is supervised by adult and teen counselors and a staff that includes lifeguards, recreational leaders, a dietician and a medical attendant.
