4-H Camps

As summer approaches and you are looking for new ways to enjoy the great outdoors, consider a 4-H Camp! We have two excellent camps in our region: 4-H Camp Overlook and 4-H Camp Wabasso.

Camp Overlook
Located south of Malone in the Adirondacks, 4-H Camp Overlook is operatedby the CCE of Franklin and St. Lawrence counties. Camp Overlook has highand low ropes courses and comprises 30 acres on Indian Lake. Programs include counselor-in-training, outdoor education, archery, sailing,canoeing, boating, swimming and aquatics. The camp is open to ALL children6 to 19 years old, both 4-H members and non-members alike.

4-H Camp Wabasso
There is a “secret” place within Jefferson County that is located on 177 acres including a sandy shoreline on Millsite Lake, 30 miles north of Watertown. 4-H Camp Wabasso is a secluded treasure that allows kids to enjoy the natural environment while in the company of friends, both new and old. From the time the sun rises until after sunset, activities abound. Children may swim in picturesque Millsite Lake, frolic on the sandy beach, play volleyball or a game of kickball on the recreation field. There are nature trails, educational activities, songs by the campfire, and challenges provided by both low and high ropes courses. Kids sleep in rustic cabins, eat great camp food in the dining hall, and generate memories to last a lifetime.
