4-H Summer Programs

Millstone 4-H Camp

Join us at Millstone 4-H Camp for residential or day camps! Millstone is in Ellerbe, NC, a 45-minute drive from Carthage. Signing up through Moore County 4-H provides an automatic discount, plus we offer full and partial scholarships! Transportation is provided for certain weeks from our office on a first-come, first-served basis.

Millstone 4-H Camp serves youth ages 5-17. All camps are week-long experiences except Cloverbud Camp, which hosts youth ages 5-8 for only three days.

Their programming fosters creativity, develops interest in the natural world, and encourages connection within a community. Under the supervision of their highly trained summer camp staff, youth learn to challenge themselves by trying new activities like high ropes, boating, archery, and more in a safe and supportive environment.

After a week at Millstone, your child will leave with a sense of accomplishment, a sense of belonging, and fun memories to share the whole ride home!

This exciting STEM camp explores the science, engineering, and technology behind NASCAR racing using remote-controlled cars and hands-on engineering activities. Youth will learn that speed, aerodynamics, force, and design all work together in motorsports while applying STEM concepts in a fun, competitive environment.

Participants will take part in interactive building and testing activities, racing challenges, and team-based problem solving. The camp also includes educational field experiences, such as a behind-the-scenes tour of a NASCAR race shop. Youth will travel to the Harnett County Cooperative Extension Office twice during the week and complete a full-day field trip as part of the program.

This camp encourages teamwork, critical thinking, engineering design, and real-world STEM application.

Additional Note: There is also an optional opportunity to attend a NASCAR race in Fall 2026 at either Charlotte Motor Speedway or Martinsville Speedway (Virginia).

Supplies Needed: Participants will need to pack lunch each day, but snacks will be provided.
