Welcome to Millstone 4-H Camp

Millstone 4-H Camp is nestled in the tall pines of the Sandhills near Ellerbe, NC about 30 miles south of Southern Pines. Established in 1939, it was once a site where granite was quarried by hand to provide grinding stones for mills located in the piedmont of North and South Carolina. The center covers 320 acres of undisturbed woodlands and is situated within the 60,000-acre Sandhills Wildlife Management Gamelands. Near the center of the camp property is a picturesque 17-acre lake where campers can fish and canoe. Millstone offers traditional camping programs for youth ages 5 to 19 and is open to everyone, whether they are involved in 4-H or not. We also offer specialty camps in subjects such as horsemanship, wildlife management, target shooting sports, cloverbud camp (5 to 8 year olds), and 4-H project camp open to all.

The camp facilities are also available to rental groups for week, weekend, or day outings. Examples of groups renting the facilities are church groups, band camps, Boy Scouts, civic groups, school groups and others.

The complex consists of a state-of-the-art shooting sports facility with two combination trap and skeet fields plus a new 5 stand range, a small-bore rifle/pistol range, a 100-yard range, an archery range and a 3-D archery range. For safety, all ranges are surrounded by earthen berms with controlled access. The ranges at the Lentz Complex are open to the public by appointment. The ranges are generally closed June and July for the camping season. There is also a classroom building suitable for small gatherings of up to 50 people.

Horse Facility A part of Millstone 4-H Camp is dedicated to a horseback riding facility, which includes six barns with 120 stalls and four riding rings. This is the home of the annual 4-H Horsemanship Camp. One of the rings is lighted to provide safe riding conditions during the evening hours. The camp also has access to miles of trails within the Gamelands.
