Memories from Summer 2011

Over 1300 resident campers enjoyed a week

of summer camp at Betsy-Jeff Penn this

summer.  Young people ate, slept, grew and learned together, having a blast the entire time.

  Don't Just Take Our

Word For It.....

Representatives from the local newspaper,

The Reidsville Review , visited camp for a

week during summer camp 2007. 

They interviewed staff,

talked with campers and took lots of pictures.  The web professionals at the paper then  compiled these snippets of summer camp into

a narrated video.  Check it out here.        

Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Center provides a variety of camping opportunities for North Carolina youth, ages 6-17. These programs allow campers to grow by challenging themselves, in an environment where they feel safe and accepted.
