Celebrating Independence at Millstone

  Monday may have been July 4th but that didn't stop us from having a great camp this week.  We did take Monday off for the holiday but started our our awesome camp on Tuesday.  We left the Robeson office bright and early to head to Millstone 4-H camp in Ellerbe, NC.  It is a bit of a drive but the camp experience is worth it.  To give you a better understanding there are more than 60 youth attending camp ranging in age from 9-13.  The youth come from Hoke, Anson, Montgomery, Richmond, Scotland, and Robeson Counties for this event.

  After getting checked in and getting to know each other our groups were spilt up by age into the head, heart, hands, and health groups.  Each group rotated activities between swimming, nature hike, archery, and team building.  According to our youth their favorite activity was getting in the pool and cooling off.  We have to give our campers credit, it was over 100 degrees and they were having so much fun, not a one complained about the heat.
  After a snack and drink from the camp store our youth settled in for a spirited game of capture the flag which took up the sports feild and parts of the camp.  It was a lot of fun and our youth were exhausted, staying very quiet on the way home (except for a bit of snoring).
  We are looking forward to another fun filled day tomorrow so stay tuned to our blog for more details.
