Camp & Summer

Fulton County 4-H offers overnight camps (see below), day camps, and camps for military families.

Every year 4-H offers away camps for 4th-12th graders. You might head to Rock Eagle, the largest 4-H center in the world, the north Georgia mountains, the beach, or Atlanta. Hope to see you there!

Learn more about our camps by reading our Frequently Asked Questions.

COVID-19 Updates (updated 5/28/2020)

Statement from Arch Smith, State 4-H Leader:  "After much thought and concern for the health and safety of 4-H staff, volunteers, and our 4-H participants, Georgia 4-H is cancelling all face to face programs, including summer camp, that remain on the June and July 4-H calendar. Additional information will be forthcoming regarding some events that will be moved to a virtual format and others that will be cancelled and not rescheduled."

All families who are currently registered for overnight summer camps will receive a full refund.  Our offices are currently closed so the refund process will take longer than normal.

We are hoping to be able to offer in-person day camps this summer and are currently awaiting decisions on re-opening dates from Fulton County governement.  For updates, please return to this page and/or follow us on social media.  We are still accepting registration for 2020 summer camps.  For questions or concerns regarding our summer camping programs, please contact Laurie Murrah-Hanson at laurs@uga.edu.

Overnight Camp Registration

Registration for all 2020 camps will open on February 3, 2020. Please remember that registration for camp is based upon the grade the 4-H'er is in during the current school year.  Our camps are available on a first come, first serve basis and we have limited spaces for each.  If a camp becomes full, we will utilize wait lists in case any spots become available.
