About Camp- Placer County 4-H Summer Camp has many fun activities to do at 4-H camp!  There are arts and crafts, sports, meadow games, team competitions and many other activities throughout the week. Campers are divided into teams for day-time activity and paired with youth camp counselors as leaders. Meals are prepared by experienced cooks and there is a licensed nurse on staff at all times.

What does my child need to bring to camp? Campers need to bring a sleeping bag, pillow and blanket, as well as a change per day of camp appropriate clothing, a can of bug spray, sunscreen, a flashlight, toiletries and towel for shower time. Most Important! Don't forget a re-usable water bottle! While there are restroom facilities with showers, there is no available electrical source available to campers. Please leave all food, candy, scented lotions and electronics at home. A detailed camping list will be available.

Who is responsible for my child at 4-H Camp? Trained youth counselors, adult volunteers chaperone's and 4-H staff all have the camper's safety as a primary concern. Both emotional and physical safety are taken into consideration with regard to the camp activities and events. We have a licensed nurse that will monitor medications and first aid. 

Emergency plans set by the University of California have been put in place by the camp director and 4-H staff. Our youth and adult staff have been involved in training to prepare them for the week long camp experience.

My child is not a member of 4-H.  Can they still attend?

All youth at least 9 years old as of the first day of camp are welcome at 4-H camp. If they are not currently a 4-H member, they will need to enroll at 4h.zsuite.org and pay the $67 enrollment fee, in addition to the camp registration fee.
