About the provider

4-H Camp Whitewood was established in 1940. Its mission is to develop positive and productive life skills through group interaction in the natural environment. The program is accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA).

We are open to the public; campers do not have to be in 4-H or from a specific county to join the camps. Wilderness Camp has limited space and fills up quickly. A $100 deposit is required to hold a child's spot. Full payment in advance is preferred.
