About Airfield 4-H Center
Located on the banks of beautiful Airfield Lake in Sussex County, near Wakefield, Virginia, the secluded 218-acre natural setting is only a short drive from Richmond, Williamsburg, and Tidewater, Virginia, where you can "get away" without having to "go away".
The center is located near Wakefield, Virginia, on Airfield Lake. The lake is 105 acres in size and the Center property has more than one mile of shoreland. When the roads were widened and surfaced at the 4-H Center, Union Camp Corporation donated an additional seven acres of land, bringing the present number of acres to 218.
