**It is the belief of the New Jersey 4-H Camp that every child deserves the opportunity to go to summer camp. Any donation, regardless of amount, helps tremendously in supporting this mission.**

Every season, 4-H Camp gives out tens of thousands dollars in camperships, the majority of which is unfunded.

In Summer 2024, The New Jersey 4-H Camp gave out over $62,000 in campership support to 88 campers for sessions at overnight camp in Stokes Forest and 4-H Camp at Rutgers Gardens. The funds raised in last year's 4-H Campfire Counci Campership Campaignl went a long way to making these 88 summer camp experiences possible.

The 4-H Campfire Council is now pleased to launch it's second annual Campership Campaign, to raise funds for Summer 2025 and continue to help provide the summer camp experience to kids who might not afford it otherwise. All donations are greatly appreciated and will go directly to the New Jersey 4-H Camp Campership program.

For donations of $100 or more, donors will be thanked with a 2025 Annual T-Shirt and and invite to 4-H Camp’s Lantern BBQ, an afternoon summer kick-off celebration, on Sunday June, 29th.
