4-H On the Move: Detroit Cultural Connection Camp is a three-day spring break day camp experience for middle and high school youth that helps them build cultural awareness, empathy, and a deeper understanding of Detroit’s diverse communities. The highlight of the program is a full-day guided bus tour through Metro-Detroit with hands-on cultural activities and community engagement opportunities. This experience is supported by a pre-tour preparation day focused on helping youth view the world through a cultural lens, and a post-tour reflection day where youth process what they learned and consider how to create positive, inclusive change in their own communities.

When: March 30th-April 1st, 2026

Who: Youth ages 13-19 (as of Jan 1, 2026)

Where: Stationary Camp sessions and bus tour pick up and drop off will take place at the Jefferson Barnes Community Vitality Center (32150 Dorsey St, Westland, MI 48186 )

Cost: $55 per participant (full camp value $255), which includes: 

  • Full-day Metro Detroit bus tour
  • All meals during the bus tour
  • Hands-on workshops & activities
  • Pre- and post-tour sessions

Thanks to the Michigan 4-H Foundation’s generous support, we’re thrilled to offer this camp for just $55 per participant—a savings of $200 off the full cost of $255! This discounted rate is made possible through grants and endowment fund interest.
