Wilderness Challenge Camp

Wilderness Challenge Camp (7th-8th Graders)

Georgia 4-H's Wilderness Challenge Camp at Wahsega 4-H Center offers a fun filled outdoor summer program for 7th and 8th graders. This camp offers great adventures, friendships, and fun. Tentative activities during the week include a canopy zip line tour, whitewater rafting, river swimming, an overnight camp out, wilderness classes, and night recreation! In 2026 we will be in Dahlonega from June 15-19th. 

Cost will be $475, the deposit is $125, non-refundable, and due at registration. The balance is due by May 1st. Would a payment plan help your family? No problem!! After you have registered and paid the deposit we will e-mail more information. 

REMEMBER, from 7th-12th grade any youth who plans to attend summer camp must participate in a judging team or Project Achievement. Most of these events take place before March so talk to us TODAY if you are planning for next year. Contact Ms. Heather for more information: heather.haines@uga.edu. 

There are limited, partial scholarships available to assist youth in attending summer camp. If you would like more information or the application, please e-mail ForsythCounty4H@uga.edu.
