The annual Camden County 4-H summer camp interest meeting will be held on January 31, 6pm at the College of Coastal Georgia Camden Campus. If your 5th-12th grader is interested in attending camp this summer, this is the place to be! We will be going over each camp offered, costs, fundraisers, timelines, and more.

Project Achievement
Project Achievement is a self-directed, individual competition that helps students develop leadership, creativity, public speaking skills, research skills, and more.
Participants select a project area of interest, research the topic, create a presentation, and present it to others. The project can be almost anything and we encourage youth to choose a topic that they are passionate about.
Your child’s 4-H classroom teacher has parent letters and more details if you student is interested in competing, and you can also email us directly.
We will be accepting presentations now thru Jan 27. Winners will be notified by Feb. 2nd and will be invited to participate in our district competition on March 18. We will schedule workshops in February to help them fine tune their work. Transportation will be provided and parents are welcome to attend as well. There is no fee for this program.
