Exploration Kits from Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp

by

Did you miss Summer Camp? We did! Because we missed exploring our natural world during camp we decided to offer Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp Exploration Kits. The kits are specifically designed for youth ages 8 to 11, but can be adapted for use with all ages.

There will be one kit per month October through December, each containing 3-4 activities per kit. The kits will include instructions and all supplies needed to complete the activities to go with that month’s theme. The themes are: October – Ohio Trees, November – Native American History, and December – Hunting Fossils. Each kit will be $20 and must be ordered by the 25th of the month preceding. An invoice will be sent to the email address provided.
Please go to go.osu.edu/explorationkits to order yours today! Deadline for October kit is Friday, September 25.

 

Camp Fee Fundraiser Opportunity for Adams County 4-H Members

by

Adams County 4-H members can choose to participate in an additional fundraiser with the proceeds to be used for camp, Kids College, or other leadership opportunities through 4-H.  Order forms for the Alabama Candle Company are now available for members or advisers to pick up at the Extension Office.  The 4-H Advisory Committee will collect order forms and money on Monday, February 17. Candles are $12 each for a 9 oz jar and come in a wide array of scents.

This is a voluntary fundraiser and only members that choose to participate will have funds available to them.  Our goal is to give 4-H members an opportunity to earn money they can use for 4-H camps and other 4-H educational trips/experiences.  In previous years members have used this fundraiser to offset the fees for 4-H camp, Horse camp, Kids College, Leadership Washington Focus and more.

Members finishing grades 6th-8th are invited to attend “Survivor:  Canter’s Cave” from June 6 – 9.  Come see which Canter’s Cave myth becomes legend as tribes compete in activities throughout camp.  Will your tribe win bragging rights?  We will see.

Teen Camp will be June 14 – 17 and is always a great time.  High ropes, cliff rappelling, and a canoe trip down Salt Creek are just a few of the adventures you’ll take at Teen Camp.  Take a break from the summer rush and hang out with old friends at camp!
