The 4-H Summer Camp programs have educated over 100,000 young people ages 9 to19 from 1929 to 2019. The Las Posadas 4-H Camp Club, Inc. was chartered in 1958 as a 501(c)(3), and the governing board camp was recognized as a support group of the University of California (and approved to use the 4-H name and emblem), The main focus is to secure a lease for the 4-H camp facility and provide regular maintenance. This program has proven to be steward so the Las Posadas Forest for the last 95 years. Equally as important, the summer camp programs have assured that the language in the original deed was always followed, providing education in forestry, botany and kindred subjects.
