Give the Gift of 4H This Christmas

Looking for a unique gift for the 4-H member in your family? What about a trip to 4-H camp?
As we celebrate Christmas, take a moment to think about giving the gift that could change the life of a child. One of the most valuable gifts one can give a child is the opportunity to develop independence, self-worth, leadership, and responsibility. For many years, 4-H camps have provided youth with the opportunity to play in a safe and nurturing environment and allow kids to just be kids.
Play is a powerful form of learning that contributes mightily to the youth's healthy physical, emotional, social and intellectual development.
According to an American Academy of Pediatrics report, creative free play protects a young person’s emotional development and reduces their risk of stress, anxiety and depression. 
The camp experience allows a young person to take healthy risks in a safe and nurturing environment.
Tennessee 4-H offers a variety of camps and conferences including everything from shooting sports to crafts to wildlife. Consider a Hardeman County 4-H Camp Gift Certificate, partial or full amount, for your 4-H Member this Christmas!
