4-H Camp for Christmas?

 


 I know, its December 1 and I am already talking about 4-H Camp.  Weird right?  However if you think about what you are getting your child for Christmas this might be the very best thing.  Think about it.  Camp offers our youth a safe and nurturing environment, an opportunity to learn about living independently, and a chance to build their self esteem.

    Through participation in the 4-H camping program youth: 

    -Understand that learning can be fun. 

    -Improve communication skills.

    -Acknowledge their abilities and limitations and develop skills and options for growth. 

    -Learn about various sciences and develop scientific skills. 

    -Gain an understanding and appreciation of different cultures and the value of diversity in a global society. 

    -Learn about the natural environment and improve stewardship skills. 

    -Improve their physical skills and fitness. 

    -Learn a process for solving problems and working cooperatively in groups. 

    -Learn skills to set goals and make decisions individually. 

    -Learn to identify and manage resources. 

    -Experience a variety of life-long recreational activities. 

    -Learn and practice ethical behavior. 

    -Explore spiritual values.

Robeson County 4-H will be camping at Betsy Jeff Penn 4-H Camp July 24-29, 2022.  We hope you can join us and check out our special pricing for those who reserve their slot early.  If you pay your $100 deposit before Christmas we will even give you a pillowcase to wrap up under the tree for the camper to unwrap.  It will have the camp name and dates on it as well as our 4-H logo.
