4-H Camp Bristol Hills

Welcome to the 4-H Camp Bristol Hills Web Site! We're proud to continue the rich history of camping excellence since 1925. This site has been designed to provide all the information you need for camp, whether you want to enroll for summer camp, rent our facilities, or bring a group out for a program in the Spring or Fall!  

4-H Camp Bristol Hills accepts children from 5-16 years of age, regardless of 4-H membership or county of residence.  We offer a wide variety of programs for Day and Overnight camping options.  Day camps all include breakfast and lunch, and overnight camps include all meals and snacks.  Campers staying overnight are welcome to request a bunk mate, and as long as both campers request one another, they are of the same gender, and within 24 months of age of one another, we are generally able to accommodate these requests.  We cordially invite you to check back for 2025 camp brochure for more information!

THE MISSION of 4-H Camp Bristol Hills is to provide youth with a unique, fun outdoor experience under the guidance of positive role models, emphasizing positive social interaction, environmental awareness and skill building.

Our Philosophy: We believe that to be engaged, you must feel included and valued. We strive to build and nurture a culture where there is a deep sense of pride, passion, and belonging that comes from doing the right thing, even when no one is looking.

Our camp is located in the rustic Hills of Bristol, where our campground is among the trees. Our program is largely outdoors, allowing campers to disconnect from their technology during their stay with us. We appreciate the rugged outdoor experience, complete with its skinned knees, bug bites, and campfire smoke. We employ a Camp Nurse and a Wellness Director, which allows us to accommodate the needs of most children. If you have questions or concerns about whether 4-H Camp is the right fit for your child, we invite you to contact us at campbristolhills@cornell.edu or (585)394-3977 ext 435.
