Ever wonder what 4-H Camp really looks like from a birds-eye perspective? One of our Hammock Camping guests a couple weeks ago shot some drone footage over camp! Many thanks to Paul Brown for sharing this awesome flight video over Camp!

Update on our camp nurse position!

We have increased compensation to $1000 per week and have expanded our scholarship opportunities! If you are a parent or guardian, all camp aged children that live in your house are able to come to camp for free OR you can give out up to $1140 worth of scholarships to camp aged kids of your choosing. That's the equivalent of two full scholarships or multiple partial scholarships.

We had so much fun with Stan Stanley when he came out to camp a week or two ago! Thank you so much for stopping and listening to our story! We are so fortunate to have the love and support of our community. Our campers really appreciate and enjoy the opportunity to spend a week in The Hills with us, and we appreciate YOU spreading the good word for us!

While Stan is correct (weve been here in the Bristol Hills for 90 years), we've actually been running 4-H camp for 100 now. We spent the first 10 years (1925-1935) renting land on Canandaigua Lake before moving to our current site in 1936!

If you're not yet signed up for this magical Small Town summer camp experience, what are you waiting for?!? Summer is almost here and spaces are filling up fast. Check us out at 4-hcampbristolhills.org, but don't wait till it's too late!

Wanna take a flyover of Camp?

We had a group at camp this weekend, and one of the guests flew a drove overhead of camp! He has kindly shared this video with us so you can check it out for yourself!

The event was a hammock camping, event, so the hammocks you may see, are not typically part of the camp. That said, the event was super fun, and everyone loves hammocks, so maybe we think about setting up a hammock village for next summer?!? Who would be down for a super casual Hammock Village at camp for campers??

What an incredible Day of Caring at 4-H Camp Bristol Hills 💚

This week, more than 100 volunteers from across our region rolled up their sleeves and poured their time, energy, and heart into camp. In just a single day, projects that would normally take our small staff weeks to complete were transformed through teamwork, laughter, hard work, and plenty of sawdust, paint, and concrete.

Volunteer support like this is not just appreciated, it is essential. Every project completed helps us keep camp running strong while keeping the experience affordable and accessible for more families and youth. Your generosity directly helps create more campfires, more friendships, more confidence, and more unforgettable summer memories for kids.

To every volunteer, organizer, supporter, and partner who gave their time to camp last week: thank you. You helped build something bigger than projects. You helped build opportunity. 🌲🛠️☀️

Camp memories start with moments exactly like this ...
A sunset field. New friendships. Campfires, laughter, adventure, and the kind of confidence kids carry home long after summer ends. At 4-H Camp Bristol Hills, every camper finds a place to belong, explore, and grow. Spots are filling fast for both day and overnight camp programs, so register today and give your child a summer they’ll be talking about all year long:
