Charles County 4-H Kids Enjoy Overnight Camp!
What is 4-H?
4-H provides learn-by-doing educational opportunities for youth that will enable them to become the leaders of tomorrow. 4-H is the youth arm of the University of Maryland Extension, a joint venture with U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Charles County government. 4-H is in every state, D.C. and in military bases around the world.
4-H At A Glance
The 4-H Emblem:
The H on each leaf stands for: Head, Heart, Hands and Health
4-H Colors: Green and White
4-H Slogan: "Learn by Doing"
4-H Moto: "To Make the Best Better"
Members, ages 5-18, participate in fun, hands-on learning activities supported by the latest research of land-grant universities that are focused on three areas: healthy living, citizenship, and science.
4-H Newsletters
The 4-H Voice Newsletter is sent to all members and volunteers enrolled in the Charles County 4-H program. The newsletter informs members and their families of upcoming events and deadlines for major activities. The newsletter contains brief highlights of information and announcements, so attending club meetings and project groups is very important to obtain detailed communications.
