Environmental Education
Fortson 4-H Center is excited
to offer its new Environmental Education Programs. All of our classes
offer hands on learning experiences that enhance skills taught in
the classroom through a curriculum that is aligned with the Georgia
Department of Education curriculum standards. We offer day classes
as well as overnight trips to young people ranging from pre-K through
8th grade. Join us for a fun filled educational experience that
your students will be talking about all year.
