4-H Clovers

The 4-H Clover program provides learning activities for our youngest members.  Clovers are aged 5 - 7 years old.  For many years, Frederick County 4-H offered the Poppies program.  When the state adopted a curriculum for younger members, our Poppies program became the Clovers to fit our state curriculum and program.

4-H experience is the focus of the clover-aged child's cooperative learning in a non-competitive environment, which is appropriate for this age group. Materials provide Clover Leaders with a wide variety of learning activities.

 

Curriculum

The 4-H Clovers curriculum is designed specifically to meet the needs of the 5- to 7-year-old youth. These curriculum materials include a variety of learning experiences and activities. Some relate to traditional 4-H programs and projects. Others involve topics that are important to the development of the 5- to 7-year-old youth. Curriculum materials are designed around the developmental criteria for 5- to 7-year-olds outlined in the developmental information section of this document. The curriculum also indicates appropriate means for recognizing the various accomplishments of 4-H Clovers. Maryland 4-H will be providing standard Clover curriculum for use across the state. "Clover" is the only project in which this age group enrolls and participates.

Participation in 4-H Activities

4-H Clovers may attend  4-H camp if it is a day camp. Clovers should not participate in activities with overnight outings.
