Our Local Program
Camden County 4-H serves youth enrolled in public, private, and home schools in 5th -12th grades. Our program year coincides with the public school year, and runs August 1 – July 31. Every year, members need to complete an online enrollment form for that program year. There is no cost to enroll. We participate in local, district, and state events including Junior and Senior conferences held every spring and fall at Rock Eagle; Project Achievement for Cloverleafs (5th - 6th), Juniors (7th-8th), and Seniors (9th - 12th); State Council, Camps at the beautiful Georgia 4-H centers, and much more! We also have a multitude of summer activities each year available to all 4-H'ers.
