Kids are often bored at the end of the summer and parents are looking for educational opportunities to engage them in before returning to school. Over 87 youth participated in one or more of the following seven day camps offered in July and August 2019: Night and Day, Fashion Design, Kids Eating and Doing Something, Clover-buds, Paper Craft and Mixed Media, Fitness and Horticulture. All day camps included a healthy snack and six included lunch and were provided free of charge to the community. A reporter visited some of the day camps and featured a story about them in the local paper.
Activities included: learning about the moon and stars, how to complete mixed media art projects, yoga, team building by playing games, learning about the color wheel and fashion design, creating a t-dyed t-shirt and necklace, learning about bees and pollinators and making a succulent garden, sun safety, making crafts, going through an obstacle course, playing games and making healthy snacks. Several youth participated in 4-H during the year after being exposed to 4-H by attending the day camps.
