Alaska 4-H Southeast

AK Experience Camp - Haines 2026: Alaskan Outdoor Skills, Traditional Practices and Southeast Fair!
Middle and high school aged youth are encouraged to come to AK Experience Camp 2026, a residential (overnight) camp rooted in recreational learning and practicing outdoor skills, arts, traditional ecological knowledge and more.
Juneau 4-H and partners are excited to host AK Experience Camp this year at the Echo Ranch Haines location (previously Rainbow Glacier camp) where we will stay in rustic cabins while having modern amenities such as flush toilets, showers and hot meals prepared for us. The camp facility has many fun activities on site already (such as zipline, kayaks and field games) with many more activities that 4-H staff will have for campers to do throughout the week. We specifically timed our camp to allow campers to be able to prepare exhibits and activities, then attend the Southeast State Fair for a day, and have the opportunity to enjoy the exhibits and help run activities at the Fair!
Campers from outside of Haines will ferry with camp staff from Juneau on Monday morning, returning Friday evening.

Happy first 4-H Day in Alaska!!

On August 24, 2024, the Governor signed House Bill 337. It establishes the first Wednesday of each October as 4-H Day in Alaska.

“4H clubs throughout Alaska provide incredible opportunities for our youth to build community, their leadership abilities, and skills that will last a lifetime. I’m grateful that 4H was such a big part of my life growing up and that it still is for so many Alaskan kids,” said the bill sponsor, Representative Mears.
