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 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.

In order to continue to serve the increasing number of campers who come to the Kelleys Island 4-H Camp each year, the camp must improve its facilities. We need your support for the Kelleys Island 4-H Camp Renovation and Expansion Campaign. For more information
