The month of July brings another exciting and educational round of summer camps from the 4-H Program under University of Guam Cooperative Extension & Outreach.

Week-long summer camps are available in morning or afternoon sessions for children ages 6 to 14. All of the camps will be instructed by subject-matter experts from UOG and the community, who will deliver university-modeled curriculum with a strong emphasis on hands-on learning.

The topics and curriculum — from chemistry, art, and math to agriculture, nature, and traditional island wisdom — are designed to help youth develop skills and interests that can help them become confident and contributing members of society.
