More Than One 4-H Camp?


Day campers arrived at the office today to find out they were headed to another popular 4-H camp, Millstone.  Located in Ellerbee, Millstone is a rustic 4-H camp that offers all the traditional camp activities such as archery, canoeing, and swimming.  Also on the calendar for the week will be ropes courses, games, and arts and crafts.
Today Joanna Rogers, 4-H Expanded Foods and Nutrition Education Program Assistant took our youth to this day camp.  Once they got there they met youth from several other counties such as Hoke, Montgomery, and Anson.  They started by getting to know each
other in the Rec Hall before splitting up into their groups for the week.
Each group has their own counselor and some even have LIT's (Leaders in Training) to help out.
Today's schedule included, arts and crafts, team building, pool time, lunch, and OLS.  The campers got a chance to know each other, make new friends, and just plain have fun.  At one point the storm clouds kept some of the campers out of the pool, but you couldn't stop their spirit as they learned camp songs and sang them at the top of their lungs.
This group of campers is headed back tomorrow for another day of fun and adventure.
