Alpaca Project #926236

Asked March 18, 2026, 1:11 PM EDT

I am just curious. We are new to 4h as volunteers. I was wondering if there is a need for a program etc for teaching about alpaca or chickens in Calvert county. We raise both and would love for the kids to participate. My daughter did 4h when she was little and it focused on horses.
