Camden County 4-H

Why 4-H makes a difference

4-H is real life experience:
It's learning how to do jobs and make decisions similar to those that are important in adult life.

4-H can be a family affair:
There is a place for others in the family if they want to participate.

4-H is adaptable:
Programs can be "tailor made" to fit any individual, any home, or community; so that everyone gains from the experience.

4-H is decision-making:
Decision making is important. Participating in 4-H provides an opportunity to learn and work together as a group, but still grow as an individual. Early practice in making both personal and group decisions creates a very capable young adult. Members are encouraged to find answers to situations that may arise and are encouraged to explore and decide which solution they will follow.

A moment in history.....

AB Graham started the first 4-H club in the country in Clark County , Ohio in 1902.

"To make the best better"

4-H is a communityof young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills.

4-H is a national youth development program for children that has been in existence for over 100 years. Annually, more than 6.5 million young people are involved in 4-H. Emphasizing "learning by doing," 4-H is dedicated to the growth and development of boys and girls, ages 5-18, of all backgrounds whether they live in the city or on a farm. The primary goal of 4-H is to assist youth in developing life skills that help them live productive and satisfying lives. Some important life skills include making decisions, solving problems, relating to others, planning and organizing, communicating with others, leading self and others, and applying science and technology. Being part of a 4-H club is one of the most meaningful ways to participate
in 4-H.
