The Chesapeake 4H Program provides a wide variety of educational opportunities for youth between the ages of 9 and 18 years old. There is a Cloverbud program also available for youth ages 5 through 8 years old. Both programs provide practical experiences in trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. The 4-H year runs from October 1st to September 30th and is an opportunity for families to experience fun together. Families are able to encourage youth while they learn from both their successes and their failures.
