The Wyomoco Resident Camp Program addresses the developmental needs and interests of campers within the goals and objectives of 4-H Youth Development and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Wyoming County. The program intends to help campers grow and learn in a healthy, positive environment; give them a wonderful, fun-filled week at camp, and provide a safe place for both these things to happen. 4-H Camp Wyomoco is fully owned and operated by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Wyoming County.
4-H Camp Wyomoco is coeducational and open to any boy or girl who has reached their eighth birthday, but have not reached their 17th birthday by the start of their week at camp. It is not necessary to be a 4-H member. Enrollment is open to all without regard to race, color or national origin. Each day at 4-H Camp Wyomoco is filled with a variety of programs and activities. These include camper classes, recreational activities, cabin activities, and all camp events. Special events are planned on a weekly basis to fit the theme of the week. These events provide your child with opportunities to make new friends and develop lasting camp memories.
4-H Camp Wyomoco is located near Varysburg, NY (20 miles south of Batavia) and features 280 beautiful acres of woods, meadows, and a three-acre pond. Click Here to get directions!
Rustic but comfortable. All campers live in cabins with at least two staff in supervision. Flush toilets and showers are located in both the girl's village and boy's village for convenience. Our professional kitchen staff takes pride in preparing food that is both nutritious and appealing to children. There is plenty of wholesome food and all the milk you can drink! The first meal is Sunday supper and the last is Friday supper.
