Effingham County UGA Cooperative Extension

What an incredible time our Effingham County 4-H'ers had at Rock Eagle last week!

From hands-on learning experiences and exciting activities to new friendships and unforgettable adventures, our 4-H'ers made memories that will last a lifetime. Whether they were challenging themselves, working as a team, or simply enjoying time with fellow 4-H members from across Georgia, every moment was filled with fun, growth, and discovery.

A huge thank you to our volunteers, families, and staff who helped make this experience possible. We are so proud of our 4-H'ers for representing Effingham County with enthusiasm, leadership, and positive attitudes.

Take a look at some of the memories we made along the way!
