Come Have Fun this Summer !
4-H Camp Shankitunk is a co-educational summer camp for children between the ages of 8 and 16, located in scenic Delhi New York in the foothills of the Catskill mountains. Campers live eight to a cabin with one or two counselors (all counselors are over the age of 16 and have been through counselor training). We have 120 campers every week, many of which are returning for another year at camp. Campers choose four of nearly thirty classes in which to participate in daily, and all campers bring home souvenirs, whether they are crafts we made in the craft hall, photographs we developed ourselves in photography class, rockets we made in rocketry class, skills learned in classes such as swimming and archery, friendships made here at camp, or memories. Camp is a very rewarding experience for every child and provides memories that will last a lifetime.
