4-H Camp Maga’lahi has been implemented in the CNMI for over 10 years. 4-H Camp Maga’lahi is a summer day camp that empowers youth with the skills that will last for a lifetime. Through the summer day camp experience, youth are empowered to chart their own courses which allows their skills to grow and take shape, helping them become true leaders in their lives, careers, and communities. 4-H Camp Maga’lahi is a full circle program that engages youth between the ages of 5-19 for one week. These age groups are split between three concentration areas: campers (ages 5-12) and camp counselors (ages 13-19). Youth who participate in the program gain skills in leadership, responsibility, and citizenship through various means.
4-H Camp Maga'lahi is a leadership and career development camp. At camp, we interpret Maga'lahi has leader. There are four houses in 4-H Camp Maga'lahi, each named after a Chamorro Maga'lahi: Maga'lahi Kepuha, Maga'lahi Gadao, Maga'lahi Hurao, and Maga'lahi Taga.
