Surry 4-H Camping Program

The Surry 4-H Program participates and promotes all District and statewide camping events held at Airfield 4-H Center in Wakefield. Specialty camps are held year round and have varied costs depending on length of stay and material/supplies for the camp. Advertisements and marketing for these events are via flyers in the schools and direct mailing to enrolled 4-H members.
