Learning Journey to Washington DC

Have you ever wanted to stand where history happened, walk through our nation’s capital, and see government and citizenship come to life? This is your chance! Area 13 4-H is excited to take 46 youth from Door, Calumet, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, and Sheboygan Counties on an unforgettable trip to Washington, D.C. from June 7-11! This opportunity is open to 4-H members ages 13 and older, with a participant cost of just $100 per youth.

Registration opens November 2 and closes January 8.

Please note that participation is not first come first served. Because space is limited, youth will complete a few application questions as part of registration in 4HOnline. We ask that youth answer these questions themselves, sharing things like:

⭐ Why do you want to travel to Washington, DC?

⭐ What interests you about government, citizenship, leadership, or American history?

⭐ How do you hope to grow through this experience?

A team of five Area 13 4-H Educators will review applications and select the 46 participants who will represent our five counties. Families will be notified by early February regarding selection.

Graphic for Learning Journey to Washington DC. Cost $100, June 7-11, Members grades 7 and up.

Participants will have the opportunity to visit amazing sites such as:

• Arlington National Cemetery
• The Library of Congress
• Capitol Hill
• The White House
• The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
• Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture
• National memorials and monuments throughout Washington, D.C.
…and so much more!

Selected participants will be asked to attend one of two orientation sessions in April, which are strongly encouraged to help prepare for this incredible adventure. This is more than a trip. It’s an opportunity to discover history, explore leadership, deepen your understanding of citizenship, and build friendships with other youth from across Area 13.

If you’re ready to learn, grow, and represent your county on an unforgettable journey, start thinking about your application now!
