URGENT: Cloverbud Day Camp

by at

Attention all!

 

This message is about Cloverbud Day Camp on June 16th.

 

Camp was moved to June this year to accommodate to availability in Camp Hervida’s schedule. Due to this we have taken a huge hit for registrations for this camp.

Due to the low amount of youth registered, we must move this camp from our original planned location (Camp Hervida) to the Morgan County Fairgrounds. Reserving Camp Hervida can be costly, we only have registration for 9 kids to attend Cloverbud Day Camp this year so it will have to be moved to a new location.

 

Please note we are still accepting registrations for this camp until June 9th and it will now be at the Morgan County Fairgrounds.

 

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Sponsors Needed!

First STEM Day Recap!

by at

We had our first STEM day of the year on April 18th. The theme was Wildlife Exploration! The kids had a great time!

They got to learn about the frog lifecycle by playing a game and making a Lilly pad craft, they also learned about hibernation and bears with a bear craft, lastly they learned about birds and different bird species by making a bird magnet and putting together a puzzle!

We played games quite frequently!

 

For snack we had popcorn, fruit and cocoa pebbles.

Thanks to all of our older youth for their hard work and here’s to another great year for our Cloverbuds!

The registration for our first Cloverbud STEM day of the year is now live! Secure your cloverbud’s spot now!
Cloverbuds explore a variety of topics related to health, environment, community, and STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The Cloverbud program provides an excellent opportunity for each individual to reach his/her highest potential because early life experiences affect future development. Cloverbud STEM day includes activities led and planned by older youth in the county. The program is April 18th from 10am-12pm at the Morgan County Fairgrounds. The theme for this Cloverbud STEM Day is “Wildlife Exploration” which includes all things related to wildlife. There is a $5 per participant fee for materials and payments are accepted up until the day of the event (cash/check). Space is limited to 30 participants due to our low numbers of older youth. Make sure to complete your registration by April 11th to allow enough time for staff and activity leaders to prepare and gather supplies.
Please send water with your kids to this event!
