Arkansas 4-H Camp Leadership Opportunities
The following dates are tentative.
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!
We offer several opportunities for youth to develop leadership skills. We have opportunities
for teens and college students to take on leadership roles.
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 typically opens approximately 1 month before the registration deadline.
All camps are open to 4-H Members. Some camps are also open to NON Members.
***Registration for 4-H MEMBERS will be through the Arkansas 4-H Enrollment & Events System, unless otherwise noted.
