Shiawassee 4-H Camp

What is Shiawassee 4-H Camp?

Shiawassee 4-H Camp is a 3-day/2-night overnight camp experience for youth ages 7-12. Camp takes place at Camp Neyati, located on Crooked Lake in Clare County, MI. Youth experience a wide range of outdoor activities in a safe and supportive environment that helps them build new skills, stretch their comfort levels, and create lasting friendships.

Youth ages 13-19 also play a vital role at camp by serving as camp counselors; helping lead activities, supporting younger campers, and creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Everyone is invited to participate in 4-H Camp.

Campers enjoy activities such as games, campfires, archery, crafts, waterfront fun, and more. They also decorate a mural that is proudly display at the 4-H Foodstand at the Shiawassee County Fairgrounds.
