What do you know about 4-H Alberta?

It’s about a connection with the world around us. It’s developing lifelong skills and enjoying new adventures. And it’s also about building strong relationships with friends, family, and community, while having a great time. Plus, 4-H Alberta has summer camps where kids and teens will learn and grow while creating wonderful summer memories!

4-H has been a popular youth institution in Alberta since 1917. Encompassing head, heart, hands, and health, its holistic approach to growth gives kids an advantage that lasts into adulthood. Over the years, the program has developed to give both urban and rural youth lifelong skills like leadership, teamwork, critical thinking, community service, and more. They do this through a huge variety of activities to appeal to kids of all interests, from STEM to agriculture and arts to active living.

Now it’s time for summer fun, because it’s all about building skills while making new friends, staying active, and getting creative! Campers will enjoy exciting activities at 4-H Alberta’s overnight camps, including classics like canoeing, archery, and cozy campfires. They’ll enjoy science activities, sports, cooking, and crafts. They can head out on an adventure and bond at a camp dance. A week at camp is an experience your kids will never forget!

Camps are held at the 4-H Centre, only two and a half hours north of Calgary, on Battle Lake. On select weeks, kids ages 10 – 13 can attend one of three Combined Camps, each with a different theme. And Calgary parents will be happy to know that Combined Camp 3 can access bussing from Balzac! There is also a week of Intermediate camp for kids ages 12 – 14. Find all camp options here.
