4-H Memorial Camp, Family Camp Retreats!
Come out and enjoy all that the camp has to offer as a family! Experience rock climbing, zip lining, archery, hayrack rides, campfires, crafts, cardboard boat racing, and many other fun activities. Fishing our 16 acre lake is extremely popular with campers! All meals are included starting with Friday Dinner and ending with Sunday Brunch. Our staff and volunteers lead activities so you can focus on enjoying the experience!
Activities: While at camp you can swim, boat, shoot archery, climb the rock wall, ride the zipline, make arts & crafts, fish, take hayrack rides, participate in S.T.E.M. activities, hike, make s’mores and so much more!
Required: At least one participant per family must be 4-H age (5-18 years old). Due to the nature of Family Camp, a parent, guardian or responsible adult must stay with the children in their care for the duration of their camp session.
