SUMMER CAMPS

As we have been enjoying some early spring weather, it makes you start thinking about summer plans. If you have a child in 4th – 12th grade who might be interested in a week of fun and learning, don't forget that 4-H Summer Camp is an option for them. Fourth through sixth graders will camp at Camp Jekyll the week of June 4-8. Seventh and eighth graders will camp at the Fortson 4-H Center near Hampton the week of June 25-29. Senior 4-H members will be camping at the Rock Eagle 4-H Center the week of July 2-6. Camp costs run around $370 to $380 depending on the camp. Sign up soon before all spaces are filled.

 

LEADERSHIP IN ACTION

Junior and Senior 4-H members who plan to compete in the Leadership In Action (LIA)Award program need to get started on their application as soon as possible. Final applications are due in the Coffee County Extension office by Friday, March 23.
