In-Person Camps

The Arkansas 4-H State Camping Program offers camping and training opportunities for youth 5-19 years old and adults. We offer both day camp and overnight camping, at the C. A. Vines Arkansas 4-H Center, 10 miles west of Little Rock. We have canoeing, swimming, archery, fishing, rock climbing, high ropes challenge course, off-site adventure camping, and more!

Camps take place at the Arkansas 4-H Center

Campers will enjoy:

228 acres in the Ouachita Mountains near Little Rock
Air-Conditioned/Heated Lodging
Lake for Canoeing and Fishing
Swimming Pool
Prepared meals

We offer camps with a wide range of learning opportunities; from wilderness adventure to crafts, our 4-H camping program has it all!

Parents/Volunteers are welcome to attend most of our camps (unless noted as youth only). Parents/Volunteers wanting to attend camp will need to complete the volunteer leader screening process. This usually takes several weeks to be processed so please start the process early. Contact your county agent on how to begin.

Registration for camps typically open approximately 1 month before the registration deadline.

All camps are open to 4-H Members. Some camps are also open to NON Members.
