4-H News

Camp season has arrived! This week our junior campers are at Jekyll Island with Mr. Wade and around 150 other campers. They will be exploring sea life as they meet new friends from across the state. Let's hope they have a great time and return home safely Friday afternoon.

In just two short weeks, our Cloverleaf campers will be headed to Rock Eagle in Eatonton, GA. Rock Eagle is the largest 4-H camp in the world!! We have about 35 fifth and sixth graders going this year. For many, it is their first time ever going to camp so it's going to be quite an amazing adventure they will never forget. If you are the parent of a Cloverleaf camper, don't forget Camp Orientation is June 23 at 6:00 pm. It is very important for ALL parents to attend this meeting. Here you will find out what your child needs to pack, what they can/can not take, and what to do about medication, money and emergencies.

Once again, Senior camp falls at the same time as Cloverleaf and our #1 Volunteer, Cindy Rich will be taking them to Tybee Island for their funfilled week. Both Senior and Cloverleaf Camp is June 30- July 4. All will be back in time for 4th of July celebrations!

If you haven't signed up for the following classes yet, you need to do so as soon as possible!
