At C-Fit Community, wellness is more than a buzzword—it’s a way of life. That’s why this summer, we proudly sponsored 15 Chesterfield County youth for an unforgettable week at the Jamestown 4-H Center during Chesterfield’s 4-H camp week.
Thanks to the generous support of our partners and donors, we covered each camper’s registration fees, provided supplies, and added funds for the camp store—ensuring each child had what they needed to thrive and participate fully. For many families, camp can feel just out of reach. Together, we helped bridge that gap.
More Than a Tour—A Vision for the Future
On June 17, representatives from C-Fit Community and Chesterfield County visited the Jamestown 4-H Center to see the camp in action. Led by Morris, Virginia Cooperative Extension District Director, we were welcomed into the world of camp life with open arms and open eyes.
Stoke, the camp lead, served as our guide, and his passion for youth development was infectious. He didn’t just show us around—he helped us see the full impact that a week of camp can have on a young person’s life. We also want to thank Sue, whose vision for collaboration and inclusion inspired deeper conversations about expanding access and support in the years to come.
What Camp Offers (That a Classroom Can’t)
Camp is more than swimming and s’mores. It’s where kids develop confidence, learn leadership, and build lifelong friendships. It’s where shy voices speak up, challenges become opportunities, and personal growth happens in real time.
We saw firsthand how 4-H Camp allows youth to engage across the eight dimensions of wellness that guide all C-Fit programs—physical, emotional, intellectual, environmental, financial, social, occupational, and spiritual. It’s a wellness experience disguised as summer fun.
A Spark for What’s Next
This visit wasn’t just inspiring—it was energizing. It sparked ideas for how C-Fit can deepen our partnerships with schools, service providers, and other wellness-focused organizations to keep the momentum going long after the tents come down.
Could there be year-round touchpoints for camper families? Mentorship opportunities for older campers? Community-led support circles? We’re excited to explore all of it—and more.
Thank You for Saying “Yes”
To everyone who made this possible: thank you. Whether you donated, helped coordinate, or simply spread the word, you gave 15 children the chance to experience something life-changing. You didn’t just send kids to camp—you helped them find a place where they could belong, grow, and dream bigger.
We believe this is what community wellness looks like in action.
Let’s Do It Again—Together
We’re already thinking ahead to next summer, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
