About
Frederick County 4-H Camp & Activities Center hosts 4-H Projects, 4-H Club Meetings, 4-H Activities, and 4-H Camp, along with events such as business meetings, retreats, weddings, picnics, pool parties, bingo, 20/20 nights, and public dinners. The facility includes four cabins that each sleep 25 people for a total of 100 overnight guests, a large banquet hall, a professional kitchen, picnic pavilions, a swimming pool, and hiking trails on its 91.6-acre property.
Since 1977, hundreds of 4-H members, volunteer adult 4-H leaders, and county citizens have contributed time and resources to develop the camp and activity center, following the purchase of land and Articles of Incorporation obtained in December 1977. Major construction began in 1981, with four cabins built for overnight accommodations and a 6,300 square foot Butler building opened in 1983 that seats 350 for banquets and includes a large modern commercial kitchen, bathrooms, and a storage room; a caretaker’s house was added in 1995. The organization is an educational, non-profit, and non-discriminatory corporation.
The stated purpose of Frederick County 4-H Camp & Activities Center, Inc. is to provide a facility for 4-H camping and other 4-H and youth activities, with educational programs for campers designed to promote purposeful recreation and intelligent use of leisure time, encourage understanding of nature, wildlife, and conservation of natural resources, develop relationships and friendships while understanding personal differences of others, encourage testing of potential career choices, and develop leadership skills to participate as informed citizens in community affairs. The center serves as the hub of county-wide activities for Frederick County 4-H, and Frederick County 4-H Volunteers maintain and manage the facility with support from community donations and rentals, with all rentals and fundraisers used for upkeep and maintenance of the facility serving Frederick County 4-H Youth Development Programs. The estimated value of all buildings plus development costs exceeds one million dollars, the annual budget exceeds $100,000, all fund-raising work is done by volunteers, and the only employee is the camp caretaker.
