Marveling at College – Weekend in the Classic City

Weekend in the Classic City, hosted by Georgia Collegiate 4-H Club, provides high school youth (9th-12th grade) the opportunity to learn more about higher education and life as a college student. The event, held October 19-21 on the University of Georgia’s campus, offers youth the chance to explore:

• College search process
• Applications
• Preparation for college life
• Financial aid and scholarships
• Student life and campus organizations

Experience workshops, a campus tour, eat at a university dining hall, explore dormitory living, and experience firsthand the University of Georgia.

The deadline to register is Wednesday, September 26 and the cost is $110.  Registration includes Friday and Saturday night lodging, Saturday breakfast and dinner (lunch on their own in downtown Athens), Sunday breakfast and an event t-shirt.  4-H’ers and adults will need to bring money ($10-$15) for lunch in downtown Athens on Saturday as well as additional money if they would like to make any purchases at the UGA Bookstore.  Currently, Gordon County 4-H does not have an adult leader going with the group, so transportation will be on your own.  If you are a certified volunteer and would like to go on the trip, please let me know.

The tentative schedule for the event is below:
