We depart together around noon on Sunday and return shortly after noon on Friday. There are several ways to camp at Betsy Jeff Penn, one of three 4-H camping centers in NC, and the one we will attend in 2025. Located in the foothills of the NC mountains (Reidsville), campers' experiences include rock climbing, archery lessons, horse encounters, and swimming.
Camping promotes physical health, teaches independence, cultivates a sense of belonging, teaches responsibility, and builds affinity for nature.
