About Us
What is 4-H Camp?
4-H Camp Kidwell is a non-profit organization that has been owned operated by Allegan County 4-H Clubs, Inc for almost 60 years as a summer camp and rental facility . Our 150
acre facility is located on beautiful Eagle Lake near Bloomingdale, Michigan.  In 1998 we expanded from just 8 acres to the current 150. This expansion was a the beginning of our
commitment to become a year-round facility that serves youth groups, families, schools, and businesses.  The expansion also kept nearly a mile of Eagle Lake shoreline undeveloped.  
4-H Camp Kidwell hosts well over 2,500 participants each year in programs range from summer camp to family events to challenge course activities to facility rentals.  In addition to
summer camp participants are part of, school programs, family reunions, friendship gatherings, youth group programs, church programs, and business programs.  We are licensed by
the State of Michigan and accredited by the American Camp Association.
