What a better idea than to shake up the world then on the first day of our 4-H summer fun day camp. Our youth walked in to shake off school and took on the world in one broad stroke.
Our campers, ages 9-13, started the day by beginning a week long science experiment. Everyone collected bacteria from their bodies and cultured it in a petry dish. We checked several times during the day but don't see any signs of growth yet. Maybe tomorrow.
After starting our science experiment we talked about what makes a good leader. The youth worked together to draw a life size leader and each proved that what a person looks like does not make them a leader, it is the qualities they posses.
After a few more games we had lunch and then worked on changing the world. The campers identified what they would like to change in the world (topics ranged from getting rid of the EOG to changing how taxes are charged, and finding alternative forms of energy for this country to use). We worked together to identify who is in a position to change these things and then wrote them letters to explain our thoughts, and solutions to these issues. The campers did a great job on their letters and wrote everyone from the school superintendent to the President of the United States.
The youth then worked on an old world craft before processing the day and planning for tomorrow. Stay tuned for more photos and fun of our adventures ahead in 4-H Junior Day Camp.
