Programs

Litchfield County UConn 4-H is proud to announce their partnership with the Arethusa Farm Foundation to provide local youth ages 5-13 with a variety of Agriculture Summer Camp experiences during the summer of 2025.  A common goal of both organizations is to increase agricultural literacy among local youth so they understand the importance of agriculture, farming, local food and the environment. 

4-H
is a community of over six million young people across America who are learning Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), agriculture, leadership, civic engagement and life skills through their 4-H project work. The 4-H program is organized into four program areas including Agriculture, Civic Engagement, Healthy Living and STEM. These themes all overlap throughout the 4-H experience, with emphasis placed on creating well-rounded individuals. Litchfield County has 30 active 4-H clubs with more than 300 active members.
