One of the staples of 4-H Summer Fun for the last two years has been our Babysitting Day Camp. Two years ago we offered the first certification opportunity then last year we offered a recertification for these youth of their CPR. The Red Cross partners with us to offer the course for our youth and this year was no different.
Five of our six youth returned to get recertified in CPR. All of them worked hard all morning and part of the afternoon working on their adult, child and infant lessons as well as the hemlich maneauver. After the all passed their recertification tests it was time for lunch and then a little fun.
We headed over to Lumberton Bowling Alley to celebrate and boy did they celebrate. Three games of bowling turned into quite the compeittiion. The first two games it was the babysitters against the trainers. The last game we split up into even teams of babysitters and trainers and had a close game. With sheer exhaustion setting in we headed back to the office just in time for their parents to pick them up (and in some cases practice their driving skills). We hope to offer our full babysitting course again next year. If you are interested please call our 4-H office at (910) 671-3276 to let us know.
