The 4-H program in Douglas and Sarpy counties is to help youth
in the counties reach their fullest potential by utilizing the
knowledge base of the University through the extension program,
offering opportunities and programs for youth to learn by doing,
and helping youth learn life skills that will serve as valuable
tools for the future.

sitting around the house, they do not necessarily have to be
brand new, just “gently used.” They can be dropped off at the UNL Douglas/Sarpy Extension central office in the box labeled
“CAMP IN A CAN DONATIONS.”
