Beaufort County 4-H Youth at Eastern 4-H Center in 2025.

June 21-26, 2026 - Eastern 4-H Center

Camp is a place where children can make meaningful connections – with nature, with friends, and with themselves. Children disconnect from the virtual world for a week and get an opportunity to be children again. They get a chance to leave behind the stresses of everyday life and enjoy fun activities like

  • canoeing,
  • challenge course (depending on children's age),
  • environmental education activities,
  • archery,
  • and so much more!

Beaufort County 4-H is planning to camp at Eastern 4-H Center from June 21-26, 2026. Eastern 4-H Center is located in Columbia, NC. Youth ages 8-12 are able to attend camp.
