Skillathon 2025
Skillathon this year will be on August 16th.
This was discussed previously, but this is just a reminder that Skillathon study guides will start looking a little different this year!!
Study Guides will still be created and available to you every year, but we will not be giving specific questions to study anymore. We will be giving topics that questions COULD be asked from and youth must study those sections in their books instead of finding answers to questions and studying those.
Depending on the age group you fall under we have different expectations. The junior group will be provided a little more guidance on the study guides, but once you get to intermediate and senior we will expect more out of those individuals and will start to be more vague.
REMINDER of Office Policy related to Winter Weather
With the recent weather bringing us beautiful snow covered landscapes, and opportunities to build snowmen and go sledding it a good time to remind you of the policy. The policy in place states that if there is no school there will be no meetings. This is for youth involved in older youth opportunities. Exceptions are for adult only meetings. In those cases, please call ahead to check on the status for the meeting.
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.
