The 2025 Magoffin 4-H Summer Daycamp, themed Hooked on Nature, was a tremendous success, drawing over 280 youth and more than 20 adult volunteers and staff from June 3–6. Held in a hybrid setting including both indoor and outdoor activities, the camp provided hands-on learning experiences that connected participants with the natural world through activities like nature hikes, environmental science experiments, fishing, crafts, and team-building games.
