4-H Summer Camp | Fresno County 4-H

General Information

Each summer 4-H members that are at least 9 years old and up to having just finished 8th grade are eligible to attend Fresno County 4-H Camp at beautiful Camp Keola on Huntington Lake. The camp session, which falls during mid to late June, runs from a Tuesday morning through Saturday at 11am. The Keola camp staff provide delicious meals as well as lifeguards for the waterfront.

Our own high school age 4-H members act as Junior counselors (JC's) and plan camp activities as well as act as cabin counselors. Adult 4-H leaders volunteer to chaperone at camp. Another 4-H volunteer acts as camp nurse.

Camp Keola provides a full range of camp fun. The waterfront allows for swimming, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boating as well as fishing. The JC's plan sports activities, crafts, hiking, evening activities, dining hall fun and campfire activities. Many campers choose to spend one night sleeping under the stars and the bravest participate in the polar bear plunge.

Partial camp scholarships are available to any camper with a financial assistance need. Eligibility criteria apply, see application for details.
