Situated on 1,100 acres of wooded bluff and native prairie in the heart of Iowa 's spectacular Des Moines River Valley , the Iowa 4–H Center offers a variety of conference, lodging, and program facilities to meet the needs of any group! The 4-H Center consists of five independent villages, a cottage, a central dining/meeting lodge, swimming pool, recreational grounds and eleven miles of hiking trails. All villages except Maple are open year-round. All lodges feature modern full service bathrooms with hot water and showers. Each village has its own outdoor campfire ring, inspiration point, and indoor fireplace. In total, the Iowa 4-H Center can house up to 388 people during the summer season and 294 during the winter season.
