Welcome to the Erie County 4-H Camp!

For over 60 years The Kelleys Island 4-H Camp has provided thousands of children, teens and adults a unique camping experience on one of Lake Erie’s most beautiful islands.

The Kelleys Island 4-H Camp provides a combination of traditional camping activities with innovative outdoor programming. In addition to such main stay camping activities as hiking, swimming, archery and canoeing, a variety of educational and social development programs are offered as well. These include nature study, art and photography, astronomy, geology and history. Programming has been expanded from the original 4-H camping base to include day camps for younger children, and activities for families and adult groups.

The main focus of the Kelleys Island 4-H Camp is the many outdoor adventures it provides youth of all ages from throughout the state. In addition to 4-H members, high school bands, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, church groups and inner city youth groups have all enjoyed the one-of-a-kind camping experience provided at the Kelleys Island 4-H Camp. The camp currently handles groups ranging in size from 75 to 200.

The Kelleys Island 4-H Camp receives no state funding; it is completely self-sufficient and all its funds are derived from camping fees. The camp is supported by a very active volunteer group that maintains the facility and completes most of the renovation projects.
