4-H Youth Development

Welcome to Camden County 4-H!

In 4‑H programs, kids and teens complete hands-on projects in areas like health, science, agriculture and civic engagement in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles. Kids experience 4‑H in every county and parish in the country through in-school and after-school programs, school and community clubs and 4‑H camps.

Exploring and discovering, encouraging and challenging, that’s what Georgia 4-H is all about. As a program of the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Cooperative Extension System, 4-H is part of the nationwide Extension network.

Camden County is a very dynamic and diverse community, and our 4-H program is tailored to meet those needs! Are you looking to make new friends? Do you like hands-on learning? Do you like to laugh, learn, and help others? Then 4-H is for you! Keep reading to find out more about our local opportunities.
