The Wonders of Washington program is an opportunity for youth groups to experience the living classroom of Washington, DC. Your youth will learn about our Nation's history; be able to see and feel the Monuments and Memorials that are essential to the historical backdrop of the city; experience and understand the political processes of our country at the national level; and have fun while doing so! There are many reasons to choose WOW:
- It's Easy! Your Conference Service Manager works with you one on one regarding the details of your program itinerary. And we'll do all the preparation and planning work for you! You will arrive in Washington DC knowing that you are in good hands. This allows you to focus on organizing your youth and conducting the fundraising. Check out how to plan your trip here!
- It's Educational! Combine sightseeing tours of DC's top locations with evening workshops and you have an unbeatable learning combination. This is learning by doing and seeing! Check out our sample itineraries here!
- It's Safe! Your home away from home is just outside the city's borders at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center, the premier meeting and conference center in the Washington, DC, area for young people. We have 24 hour security making sure our guests are comfortable and safe. Our upscale suburban location gives you an escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Check us out here!
- You have your very own tour guide and facilitator! Your Program Assistant is a young adult, who is a licensed DC tour guide. He/she will help direct your group to where they need to be, give historical and cultural information about all of the sites you visit, and serve as a role model for your young people. Program Assistants will be your go-to person for anything you need during your Wonders of Washington program.
