Annual London Edition (75th Special)

 



Time for one of the BEST...

Non-Summer Camp Days...

Of the whole year!

Yes,

Meet...

The NEW...



International Counselors for Summer 2026!

A crucial part of what makes 4-H Camp magical...

Are the staff who join us from...

All over the world,

And we...

Can't wait...

For you to meet...

The wonderful folks...

Who are going to be part of the team this summer. 


And usually, that'd be all!


But, as this is our 75th Anniversary (if you haven't heard) season, we've got great news!


That's not it at all!!!




Yes, not only we were meeting NEW camp friends on this trip, in fact we made a point to get together with a whole bunch of OL' camp friends as well.


Remember how...


We said...



A crucial part of what makes 4-H Camp magical...



Are our international counselor staff?


Well,






 That magic doesn't end...



With the completion of a summer season!

It sticks around!

So we were thrilled to be able to get together...


With some past staff through the years...

(Going all the way back...

To Summer '13...)



And spend some time...

Telling stories,



Reuniting,





And keeping...
That...
Good ol'...



Camp magic...

Going.





(We had such a good time, it's another group that just might...



Get back together before the 100th.)

A Spring Weekend of Rustic Family Fun at the New Jersey 4-H Camp





As our 75th Anniversary celebrations continue, we’re excited to be holding our Alumni Family Weekend


Our first family weekend in many years, Alumni Family Weekend is open to anyone who has enjoyed time at 4-H Camp in the past. The event will run from Saturday morning to Sunday morning, with an optional early arrival on Friday night. (Families can also attend for day-only events on Saturday.)




Families will reside in our communal summer camp cabins, and get to enjoy some classic Camp activities and quality time around Lake Shawanni.

(We anticipate spots filling quickly, so we encourage interested attendees to sign up soon, and reach out to the Camp Office with any and all questions.)

Also! Were spending cold January working on some warm summer camp memories for our Virtual Scrapbook.




We're be adding new photos frequently  from deep in the 4-H Camp archives, and if you haven't shared yet, please contribute a picture or memory! If you HAVE shared, share some more!


Check it out, contribute yourself, and stop by regularly to see the new additions!

Year's End Means Half-Way Through our 75th Celebrations!

Well, would you look at THAT! Our full-year 75th Anniversary spectacular is now entering its second calendar year. 

 

Yup, we’re half-way through, so what better way to close out 2025 than to get excited about the 2026 slate of celebratory offerings.

 

(Also – as you’re exploring below and saving some dates, a reminder that our Polar Bear Early Registration for Summer 2026 ends on 12.31.25! Sign-up before then for first pick on sessions, first pick on classes, and the lowest rate we offer. The Camp Office will be closed for the holidays, so please reach out before then if we can assist in any way.)

 

 




 

 

Virtual Scrapbook Drive

January




 

We’ve already got 80 posts to our 75th Anniversary Scrapbook, and this month we want to double that number (and more.)  What better way to spend a cold January than sharing some summer camp memories from the comfort of your home?

 

 

Winter Camp Time Capsule

February

 

So much of 4-H Camp’s focus is on our summer camp program, but our long and storied history includes our 4-H Winter Camps as well! For decades, the New Jersey 4-H Counties and Teen Council Clubs have been utilizing Camp in the cold midst of winter to run their annual retreats. During this year’s 4-H Winter Weekends, 4-H-ers will  create some contributions to our 75th Anniversary Time Capsule.
