Henrico County youth interested in attending Junior 4-H Camp for the first time this summer are invited to participate in a daylong workshop Tuesday, Feb. 18 to preview the camp, including team-building games, outdoor activities and campfire traditions.

The Ready, Set, Camp! workshop is designed for prospective campers who will be ages 9 to 13 as of Sept. 30 and will be held at the Jamestown 4-H Educational Center, near Williamsburg. 

The cost to attend is $50, which includes transportation via passenger van. Online registration for the workshop will be open through Friday, Feb. 7.

Feb. 18 is a student holiday for Henrico County Public Schools.

After the workshop, participating families will receive a code that will provide a $50 discount toward registration for the 2025 Henrico/Richmond City Junior 4-H Camp, which will be held from July 28 through Aug. 1 at the Jamestown 4-H Educational Center.
