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.

 



London Staff Alumni Reunion

February 28th, 7pm (Greenwich Mean Time!) 

 



If you're in the general London region and can make it, we'd love to catch up.


Rutgers Day/Mid-Jersey Meet-Up

April 25th



We’ll be down at Rutgers Day with a table highlighting 4-H Camp and our 75th Anniversary, and following that our Campfire Council Alumni Group will be hosting a mid-Jersey alumni meet up. Details to follow!

 

 

Alumni Family Weekend

May 1st-3rd

 

This will be a family weekend for anyone who has enjoyed time at 4-H Camp in the past. More information coming soon! Save the Date if you’d like to join - we anticipate this event filling up fast.

 

 

Opening Weekend Work Day

Saturday, June 6th

 

The Summer Staff of ’26 will be in attendance training for Lifeguard and Archery certifications, as well as leading up some projects to get our facility all prepared for summer. Join us for the afternoon and help get the place ready for Summer Camp!




Lantern BBQ

Sunday, July 5th

 

And with that, we’re back to another Summer Camp Season (#76), as we celebrate Camp Eve and the kick-off of Summer 2026.

Putting the WINTER in Winter Gathering

The fires were stoked,

 



The supplies...

And...

Decorations...

Were prepared,

And...

The...

Camp Family...

Arrived,

And thus...



Our Winter Gathering...

Was...

Underway!

Now,

We've been...

Holding...

Winter Gatherings...

For years,

And...

They're...







Always...

Wonderful events,

But Winter Gathering...

Is...

A little...

Wonderful-er...

If there happens...




To be...





Some...

Snow on the ground. 

And,

Snow...

There was!

Yes,

It was snowy,

It...

Was...

Icy,

It...

Was...

Chilly,


(All right -


It was more than chilly -


It was COLD),

To put it simply,

It...

Was...

Wintry!

So,

It was...,

Exactly...

What...

We...

Hope for...

When...

We...

Get...

Our Summer Camp friends...

Together...

For...

A little...

Quality time...

In December. 

Thanks to all...

Who journeyed...

To the forest...

To be part of Winter Gathering.

Cold days...

Feel...

A little warmer...

When we get to spend them with....

Our Summer Camp friends.
