Launch of the Campfire Council's Annual Campership Campaign

Our alumni group, The 4-H Campfire Council, is pleased to announce that their Annual Campership Campaign has officially launched!

Last year's inaugural campaign raised over $15,000 to support 4-H Camp's mission of getting summer camp to every kid who wants to be here.

The Campfire Council is excited to build on this success to get even more kids to 4-H Camp in the second year of this annual campaign initiative.

Please help us SPREAD THE WORD and consider making a contribution.

In Summer 2024, The New Jersey 4-H Camp gave out over $62,000 in campership support to 88 campers for sessions at overnight camp in Stokes Forest and 4-H Camp at Rutgers Gardens. The funds raised in last year's 4-H Campfire Council Campership Campaign went a long way to making these 88 summer camp experiences possible.

This year, all donations will go an EVEN LONGER WAY, because a generous donor has pledged to match our entire campaign!

Yes, dollar for dollar, every gift the Campfire Council received during this campaign will be DOUBLED.

Help us get the word out, so that when the campaign ends at Winter Gathering (12/7), we can all celebrate the Campfire Council and 4-H Camp Community helping support a whole lot of campers(x2) this summer.

Join the Team for Summer '25!

Yes, in another sure sign that we are indeed spending autumn moving toward summer, applications for Summer Staff are now open and available!

If you're interested, check-out our Pre-Application Guide for all the details that go into the extraordinary task of being a 4-H Camp Counselor.

To celebrate, we'd like to share TWO MORE brand-new 4-H Camp videos.

We were lucky enough to have our counselors, Yosuf and Ace, who both discovered 4-H Camp through Rutgers University, discuss what makes the camp counselor experience so meaningful to them.

Hear about it from Yosuf:

And Ace!:

AND, if this challenging and rewarding and fun and challenging experience seems like it might be right for YOU in Summer 2025, apply to join the team!
