A Day of Fun and Learning

The reason our 4-H day camp program is called Summer Fun is because it is in the Summer and its lots o fun!  A call went out for an unscheduled day of summer fun to take place at the 4-H office.  Everyone met for the first time and set the tone for the day.  After a few team working games and name games it was time to have fun.

Some friends from Campbell Soup working with different United Way organizations joined us for the experiential activities and together we had a ball!  We had several stations set up and let our guests pick any station they wanted.  We had robotics, health and fitness (Twister was involved), science, plant science, and a community service section making bookmarks.  Every 10 minutes we switched stations and had a ball!
  When our special guests left we settled in for a snack then headed back out to the activities.  About 4 o'clock we settled in for a few more games like the Hershey's personality test and two truths and a lie. Of course the biggest hit of all of our day camps is the silent game.  This was a highly competitive group, some had to forfeit when their adult arrived to pick them up.  However everyone got a little present when they left.
  It was a lot of fun and a great way to ring in the United Way Campaign that is going on right now in Robeson County.  If you would like to know more about giving to United Way please contact our 4-H staff at (910) 671-3276 or the United Way of Robeson County at (910) 739-4249.
