All aboard and come join the fun at Burton 4-H Center on Tybee Island!

Camp registration is open to all military youth ages 10-12. Campers will participate in a variety of activities such as exploring the local marshes, discovering marine life through seining and beach ecology, participating in a service-learning project, taking a marsh cruise around the island, beach time and much more! Campers will also have the opportunity to meet other military kids as well as hang out with fun counselors!
