Worthy Boys and Girls Camp

The Worthy Boys Camp began in 1949 when 48 acres of land were donated to the Rock Hill Pistol Club for a training and firing range. The donation came with the stipulation that a camp for kids had to be developed. The first camp opened that very same year and has been in almost continuous operation since that time. In 1995, the camp became The Worthy Boys and Girls Camp. Now, the camp welcomes almost 200 York County youth every year. Thirty campers attend each week of camp, four weeks for boys and two weeks for girls. During each week, the campers enjoy structured and non-structured activities. The camp includes a chapel, dining hall, activity hall, bath house and sleeping cabins. In the center of the camp lies a sparkling four acre lake. The camp is nestled in a beautiful wooded area which provides a serene and natural environment for camp activities.

The Worthy Boys and Girls Camp will provide a safe and positive camp environment for children of all backgrounds. We will help children gain an appreciation for their community as well the environment in which they live. We will achieve the goals by exposing the campers to new places, experiences and ideas. The camp’s staff instill in the campers a spirit of sharing and growing together that will become part of their lives. Our camp will allow children to create fun memories, establish new friendships, and improve relations between York County youth and the Rock Hill Police Department. In part, creating the future leaders of your community.
