About the Dorothy P. Flint 4-H Camp:

Dorothy P. Flint, a Nassau County 4-H agent, established the 4-H Camping Program in 1924 by setting up tents along Lake Panamoqua. Her program expanded, relocated to Wildwood State Park in 1928 and later, when the park ended public camping, found a permanent home here on Sound Avenue where 40 acres grew into 140 acres, a girls and boys side of bunk houses and wash houses were built, and the farm was established, nestled in the center of camp activities.

The Dorothy P. Flint Nassau County 4-H Camp is the oldest 4-H Camp in New York State and will be celebrating their 100th anniversary in 2024. The camp includes the 40-acre work-and-learn farm, low and high ropes challenge course, nature center, indoor horseback riding arena, riding trails, meeting spaces and open areas for recreation. Campers are provided with an atmosphere which fosters independence, leadership development, respect, tolerance, and positive self-esteem while having fun and making new friends.

The 4-H Camp staff are dedicated to the social development of their campers. The communal living environment fosters independence while creating friendships that will last a lifetime. The social capital the campers gain from camp set them up for personal success in the future. This community also prides itself on its social diversity and acceptance of others. The 4-H Camp is a safe space community truly dedicated to fostering youth development and betterment.

This meeting will be outdoors and attendees are encouraged to dress accordingly.
