Come join the fun at 4-H camp this summer

These five-day resident camps will be conducted at the Buford Ellington 4-H Center in Milan, Tenn. UT Extension offers these programs in agriculture and natural resources, 4-H youth development, family and consumer sciences and resource development.

The 4-H center is a modern camp facility and joins the Milan Experiment Station, home of the West Tennessee Agricultural Museum. Campers enjoy food served cafeteria-style in an air-conditioned, 400 seat dining hall and stay in cottages with bath facilities in each cabin. Accommodations for campers with disabilitites are also available.

Campers enjoy swimming, rifle and archery ranges and a large recreation pavilion. Ball fields, basketball courts and a tennis court are located on the grounds. Other facilities include a wildlife center, t-shirt shop, air brush center, craft center and a pond where they can fish, canoe or paddle boat ride.

4-Hers also participate in an early morning cookout at the pond and go “Creek-stomping” on the daily wildlife hikes. An outdoor amphitheater is the backdrop for campfires.

Computers are available in the learning center and campers may purchase snacks at the well-stocked canteen.
