What is Junior Conference?
Held annually at Rock Eagle 4-H Center, Junior Conference is a two day recreational and educational opportunity planned for 4-H’ers in the 6th through 8th grades. The weekend includes a mix of workshops and education sessions, along with opportunities for community service and exhibits, planned by and led by the Junior Board of Directors. Recreational programs for 4-H’ers are included to allow 4-H’ers to interact with youth from all over Georgia.

– Participate in recreation and hear a performance from the Georgia 4-H performing arts group, Clovers & Co.
– Learn more about 4-H opportunities and project work through the exhibit fair
