Washington County is planning an exciting trip for 4-H’ers in April. 

Washington County 7th and 8th grade 4-H’ers are invited to attend the Region 19 4-H Trip to St. Louis, Missouri, April 4-5th. Overnight will be spent at the Challenger Learning Center participating in the Space Mission Program and Rocket Program. Participants will visit the St. Louis Aquarium, Grant’s Farm, have lunch at Union Station, and take a tram ride to the top of the St. Louis Arch. Iowa, Keokuk, and Johnson County 4-H’ers are able to attend. Space is limited and registrations are being accepted online on a first come, first serve basis. Registration is open until February 7th, or until the trip is filled. The registration cost is $270 due to Washington County Extension. This discounted rate is due to the Washington County 4-H 2024 Big Lucky Clover Raffle proceeds. The fee will cover tickets, transportation, lodging, insurance and meals. Additional scholarships are available upon request.
