Planning for 4-H activities is fun because programming ranges from a variety of topics. While most activities will occur onsite for 4-H sometimes youth professionals choose to plan events away from the &#8220;home base.&#8221; This can be challenging for coordinators, because it requires coordination for a bus, meal plans, extra volunteers, unique lesson\/activity plans, creating weather back up plans, and extra expense. However, getting the youth to experience new places and taking them out of their comfort zone is worth it.<\/p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s blog post I want to highlight Georgia 4-H&#8217;s Environmental Education Program.\u00a0 Having planned several educational trips start to finish I can really appreciate when I am able to turn the program planning over to someone else. This is not only great for a busy professional tasked with planning several events but for the teens too. Having someone else plan the program means youth will likely have a different experience, because they will be learning from someone different. The Georgia 4-H Environmental Education program handles teaching the lessons, creating the schedule for your group, can provide a place for lodging and meals if needed, and additional resources to make your experience exceptional.\u00a0 Can you imagine the only thing you have to worry about is advertising and transportation?<\/p>\n<p>So, where exactly are environmental education (EE) programs located through GA. 4-H? EE is located at our 4-H Centers: Wahsega 4-H Center, Camp Jekyll, Burton 4-H Center, Fortson 4-H Center, and Rock Eagle 4-H Center. The awesome thing is programming can be onsite or if you are close enough to the center they even bring staff to you for an onsite field trip.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the Environmental Education (EE) program check out the below link:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-159\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/files\/2019\/04\/EE-F-300x186.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/files\/2019\/04\/EE-F-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/files\/2019\/04\/EE-F-223x138.jpg 223w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/files\/2019\/04\/EE-F.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-158\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/files\/2019\/04\/campJekyll-300x210.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/files\/2019\/04\/campJekyll-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/files\/2019\/04\/campJekyll-768x537.jpg 768w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/files\/2019\/04\/campJekyll.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/files\/2019\/04\/campJekyll-197x138.jpg 197w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-99\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/files\/2018\/12\/shark-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/files\/2018\/12\/shark-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/files\/2018\/12\/shark-184x138.jpg 184w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/files\/2018\/12\/shark.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":160,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-resources"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":161,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157\/revisions\/161"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/military\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
