Facility Updates
Millstone 4-H Camp-  We have just completed the construction of our new rock climbing wall! This is going to make a great addition to our summer programming.

We are also getting ready to begin a complete remodel of our swimming pool. Our pool was constructed in the early 1970's and this will be the first major overhaul. We are excited to have this ready to go for summer. 

Betsy-Jeff Penn- During this winter 7 new roofs on various buildings have been completed, including a new tin roof on our horse barn. The tact room in our horse barn has been expanded, and we have new riding rings.

Eastern 4-H Center- Bids have been accepted for the reconstruction of the pier and boardwalk. We are excited to be working with Sawyer's Residential & Marine Construction out of Grimesland, NC. Completion timeline is the end of March. We can't wait to have these new and improved structures for all of our guests to enjoy again. Progress updates here, we will be posting photos as construction proceeds.
