Youth

Don't like reading textbooks, doing homework, or listening to lectures? Rather learn by doing and seeing? On a Wonders of Washington program our Nation's history comes alive in ways you have never thought possible! Stand in front of the White House; visit George Washington's home at Mt. Vernon; see the original Star Spangled Banner, and Declaration of Independence; catch an IMAX film at the Smithsonian, and marvel at monuments dedicated to our country's heroes.

What Makes WOW so Fun?

Your friends are with you! The only thing better than experiencing DC is doing it with 25 or more of your friends!
No lectures! This is learning by doing and seeing; experiencing history and government in ways no book can deliver! Check out our sample itineraries here!
Stay at a place designed for you, the National 4-H Youth Conference Center. Bunk bed rooms, outdoor volleyball/basketball courts, recreation room with video arcade and gift shop, and great food! Check us out here!
Learn from a Youthful Program Assistant! Your tour guide and facilitator is college-aged and knows all about Washington, DC and the history of our country.
Create Amazing Memories! You will get to visit all the sites that you typically only get to see in a history book. Just imagine how cool your Facebook page will be when you add your new photos!
