At Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia our 4-H Center is not just for 4-H camps. The W. E. Skelton 4-H Educational Conference Center is a community hub offering all sorts of great activities for everyone in the family.

How can you call it a 4-h center when you will not let local 4h groups hold meetings or activites there.
Sharon, what makes you think local 4H is not allowed? That would not be good. When I read their website it sounds as if anyone can rent the place anytime? Is that not correct? If not I would like to know myself.
