Virginia 4-H

Virginia’s six 4-H Educational Centers have not been able to operate as usual, which has caused significant unforeseen losses and the cancellation of summer camp. Preserving camp opportunities is vital for the future, and we ask for your support today to ensure our 4-H camping legacy can return to providing the full benefits of a 4-H experience coupled with the fun and wonder of the great outdoors.
