Who thrives here Ages 8–14

Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Center Summer Camp sits in the upper-elementary to middle-school window where specialization starts to mean something.

The right specialty fit at this age depends on whether the child wants more autonomy or still wants the safety of a structured rhythm.
