4-H Camps

4-H Camps comprises a huge section of 4-H history. There is a separate section devoted to the National 4-H Camp which was held on The Mall in downtown Washington, D.C. starting in the 1920s. This section is devoted to state 4-H camps, which also started early in 4-H's history... and, are still, an important part of 4-H today.

Much has been written about 4-H camps in general, as well as individual camps, even including their history in some cases. The National 4-H History Preservation team has not given a great deal of attention to this section, as yet, because so much has already been written on various camps and camping activities, including theses, studies and curricula.

Perhaps a select bibliography of resources on 4-H camp history will be one resource. Another may be a listing of 4-H camps past and present and brief histories (or links to histories) for those which are available.

Four-H team member Chad Proudfoot is the major contact for this section. Those interested in researching and writing documentation for the section... we would like to hear from you. Contact: info@4-HHistoryPreservation.com
