Georgia 4-H Environmental Education Program

The Georgia 4-H Environmental Education Program offers day and overnight educational experiences that teach science in the context of the environment, using the outdoors as a classroom without walls or boundaries. These experiences take place across six 4-H facilities that range from the mountains to the sea, including Wahsega, Fortson, Rock Eagle, Burton, 4-H Tidelands Nature Center, and Georgia 4-H at Camp Jekyll. While the focus is science, the program also complements math, history, and language arts lessons.

• Ages: 8–18 years old

Since 1979, the Georgia 4-H Environmental Education Program has provided a network of high-quality day and overnight educational experiences at the six 4-H facilities from the mountains to the sea. The University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, working cooperatively with Fort Valley State University, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the counties of Georgia, offers this program as part of its educational efforts. The University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action organization and offers its educational programs, assistance, and materials to all people without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, or protected veteran status.
