By the numbers
Camp costs $525, but each Caldwell County camper who registers through the Extension center will receive one $250 campership per summer to use toward this cost. There are also state-awarded camperships available. Ask Sarah Kocher if your child qualifies for a state-awarded campership and how to apply.Youth must register through Caldwell County 4-H for camp to be eligible for the local campership. A non-refundable $50 deposit secures a youth camping spot. This should be paid to “Caldwell County 4-H” at 120 Hospital Ave., Suite 1, Lenoir, NC 28645. Please write your preferred camping dates in the memo. If we do not have your email address and phone number already, please provide it at the time of the deposit, so we can stay in touch and confirm your camping details.
Camp for Christmas
We are offering a "Camp for Christmas" gift package again this year. It could also be given for someone's birthday or another holiday your family celebrates with gifts.
Adults who make the $50 camp deposit for a young person during November 1-December 1 will receive a complimentary gift package, which includes a certificate and a "Let's Go Camping" t-shirt, at no additional cost. The remaining camping fees can be paid up until the week before camp.
