Thank you to Herb Kohl Philanthropies, we are able to provide the opportunity for 40 Calumet and Manitowoc County 4-H youth ages 13 and up to travel to Washington D.C. Monday, July 24th - Friday, July 28th.

If you are currently 13 or older, and are interested in participating in the Calumet & Manitowoc Counties 4-H Learning Journey to Washington D.C. July 24-28, 2023, please fill out the below application by March 15. The adult advisor team will meet after this and youth be notified via email of their participation by the end of March.

Youth will be evaluated on the strength of their application.  

More about the experience…

The Washington D.C. Learning Journey is a grant funded opportunity through the Herb Kohl Philanthropies.  Due to the nature of the grant, the opportunity for this learning journey is for youth who have not experienced Washington D.C.  Youth who have attended Washington D.C. on another experience (school, 4-H etc.) are welcome to still apply, but please know priority will be given to those who have not been to Washington D.C. before. 

We will travel to Washington D.C. on July 24. The group will be bussed to Washington D.C. via coach. We will tour Washington DC July 25-27, and then travel back to Wisconsin arriving the morning of July 28. 

Other requirements of the grant is to attend the U.S. Capitol Building and go on a college tour.  There is a strong chance the group will be touring the University of Maryland.  We will also be going on a general tour of Washington D.C. including monuments, Smithsonian Museums and more.  There will be a good balance of STEM, Citizenship and History learning opportunities.  The final itinerary has not been set yet. 

Youth will be roomed by gender in hotel rooms and the tour company provides overnight security. There will be four youth to a room as this is what the grant provides.   The grant provides meals ($10/meal) and are coordinated at fast food restaurants.  

Cost will be $25 to help cover the cost of t-shirts, snacks, and bottled water, as the remainder of the cost (travel, hotel, food etc.) will be covered by HKP.
