Tucked away in the rural countryside of southwest Virginia, only a few miles from Abingdon and interstate I-81, is the Southwest Virginia 4-H Educational Center. For over 50 years we have been providing once-in-a-lifetime experiences for young people of Southwest Virginia. In addition, businesses, state agencies, church groups, families and others use the outstanding meeting, dining and lodging facilities available at the 4-H Center.

4-H camping is a proven and effective method of teaching, and involving youth in leadership skill development. Each year, more than 2,000 participate in our ACA accredited 4-H camping programs at the Southwest 4H Educational Center. Both week-long residential and day 4-H camping programs have a rich history of youth development for thousands of youth through hands-on, experiential learning.
