We are currently gearing up for our annual  4-H Frederick County Summer Camp, a pivotal experience where children have the chance to explore nature, forge lasting friendships, and discover their strengths in a supportive environment.    In a recent study on Career and College Readiness, our 4-H Youth reported: 95% are comfortable being a leader 96% said 4-H helped them identify things they are good at 95% think about how their choices affect others 97% get along with those who are different than them   As our kids take to the 4-H camp center - eager and ready to learn - I encourage you to give the gift of confidence (and so much more) with a sponsorship to Frederick County 4-H Summer Camp. Your support will ensure that every child has the opportunity to attend 4-H camp and benefit from these transformative experiences.  The 2024 Camp fee is $315 per child, not all youth can afford this amazing opportunity.
