Memorial Camp and Conference Center is operated by the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service, part of the University's College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences. The camp is available to various businesses, schools, and organizations. It is ideal for conferences, banquets, training sessions, retreats, reunions, meetings, workshops or other educational activities. For more than 40 years, we've been assisting over 100 groups a year.

Since 1947, 4-H Memorial Camp has annually served thousands of 4-H youth as well as numerous groups from churches, civic organizations, educational institutions, and social organizations. Memorial Camp's facilities and 250 acres provide an ideal location for all types of residential camping and educational programs. Originally established as a youth camping facility, the grounds have been upgraded to offer the finest in adult and family retreat settings. We offer a place where you can just get away from it all, yet still accomplish important goals.

At 4-H Memorial Camp, concentrating on your group needs is our number one priority. The woodland setting surrounding the Conference Center helps you get down to business without interruptions and hassles. A lake and hiking trails complete the secluded atmosphere with everything located within walking distance.
