About
Camp
New London County's 4-H Camp was founded in 1947 on 24
1/2 acres in Franklin, Connecticut as an
educational/recreational facility. The camp is open to
all youth 6-14 years of age without regard to race, sex,
color, national origin, religion or disability. Teens
ages 14-17 may apply for the Teen Leadership Program and
will be selected on the basis of leadership interests
and capabilities. Campers need not be a 4-H member to
attend.
4-H Camp provides youngsters with an experience in group
living in the out-of-doors. Through a wide variety of
activities, that focus on self development,
environmental awareness and a concern for health and
safety, campers develop a greater understanding of
themselves, others and the world around them.
The New London County 4-H camp is owned by the New
London County 4-H Foundation and sponsored with the
University of Connecticut Cooperative Extension System.
The camp is licensed by the Connecticut State Department
of Health and
accredited by the AMERICAN CAMPING
ASSOCIATION.
