4-H Clubs

Awards Night

by at

Some are receiving an email that has a different date than what is listed on this graphic. I just wanted to clarify the awards night will be on October 28th from 6pm-8pm at the River Valley Social.

 

If you have received this email when registering please disregard it, it was being recycled from an old survey and we have corrected it. Anyone who registers should not receive it now. It was fixed earlier this week.

 

Thank you to the 4-H committee for giving us the opportunity to hold this event! We hope to see you there. If you plan on attending please register using the link listed in the previous blog post!

 

Cloverbud Day Camp Recap

Cloverbud Day Camp has come and gone. All who attended had lots of fun visiting the fairgrounds for the day! Our theme this year was “A Day At The Carnival” The youth got to experience what 4-H Camp is like while also doing carnival themed activities!

The whole day was planned by our Older Youth in Training and Junior Leaders. They all did a great job!

Our rotations this year included making a carnival hat, creating a backpack, making a carnival mask, playing carnival games, having recreation with parachutes and playing some water games!

A big thank you to our adult staff, camp counselors and older youth that all came out to help this day run smoothly.
