That's a Wrap...Maybe a Sandwich Wrap?



 Our last day of 4-H Jr. Chef Day Camp and I can tell you it has been a wonderful week.  Today our campers started by putting their finishing touches on their presentations and reminiscing about yesterday's field trip and how sweet it was.  

  When we got into the kitchen with Ms. JoJo it was time to make our "Disney Drive In" themed lunch.  On the menu today were hot dogs, slider burgers, fries, mozzerella sticks, and Shirley Temples.  We had all the fixing to go with our dogs and sliders.  Our older group worked to create a sweet base for our afternoon take home snack.

    The group that wasn't in the kitchen was working on designing and decorating their cars for the drive in experience.  Our teams worked in pairs to create very colorful and unique cars.  We did tell them it was a competition and each team would be judged on team work, design, and details that went into the cars.  The judges talked to each group individually about their design and had a really touch decision.  In the end the winner was our team of Logan and Lucas.  Their car was well thought out with headligts, tires, steering wheel and even sound effects (thanks to their new technology skills).  Our runner up was the Bow Car, designed by Zendaya and Janna Grace.  They tied everything up with very colorful bows and even gave their car seats special bows for the drive in occasion.

  After announcing the winners it was time to enjoy their car and a very special treat..."Cars" while they ate lunch.  Although normally we would not watch a movie and eat at the same time, today was a special event day and we felt it important that they be able to enjoy the drive in experience.  Our campers relished in their lunch that they made themselves and enjoyed the last meal together.  We must say it was all mighty tasty and completed the experience.

  After lunch it was time for presentations!  This is the moment we have been working towards all week.  Our youth presented their videos and we had a chance to learn about their Disney inspired restaurants.  The thought and detail that went into all of these was absolutely amazing.  Our youth used, photo editing pop art, Canva, Pinterest, AI, Keynote, and more to design their presentations and they paid off.  To check out the presentations you can click on the following links:

After presentations they did a little salty and sweet afternoon snack with mini loaf cakes and 4-H movie popcorn.  After that it was time for cleaning up and processing their camp.  Based on the responses of our youth their number one favorite activity of the week was the field trip to Mrs. Hanes Moravian Cookie Factory.  The second most popular event was Dairy Queen visit and cooking.  100% of our campers said they learned at least one new thing this week and maybe more.  100% of our campers said they plan to use what they learned this week in the future and even share what they learned with others.  We hope this means that they will cook for their families and thing about healthy eating habits even when fast food is the easiest option.  

  We could not be more proud of this group of campers and hope they enjoy their Crumbs and Chaos cooking books.  To check out today's fun in pictures please click this link.  Until next year folks...that's a wrap on Jr. Chef.

Remembering Margaret Crites

Image
   It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of 4-H Volunteer Margaret Crites.  Margaret passed away after a brief illness on Friday night at Cape Fear Hospital.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Bruce DeHart, a brother, and grandparents who raised her.  She is survived by her father Tom Crites, brother Chris, as well as Rusty, The Pirate Jean Lafitte, Flambeaux, and host of incredible friends, coworkers, and folks that she had helped over her many years working in nonprofits.   Margaret's passion was for community and she and co-worker Jessica Drake started volunteering with our 4-H program more than 18 years ago.  They started teaching arts and crafts to our cloverbuds during 4-H Cloverbud Day Camp.  They would plan the most wonderful crafts, such as making musical instruments with paper plates and shower rings that had long ribbon curls that allowed the youth to move, play, and have the best time.  Jessica went on ...

Remembering Bobby Rogers

Image
      One of the first people I met, even before I was officially the 4-H Extension Agent in the County was Bobby Rogers.  He was one of the 4-H Volunteers asked to sit in on my presentation when I interviewed for this job.  I remember him sitting towards the back of the room, near his wife Aggie, who was the 4-H Program Associate.  He was smiling, nodding, and very supportive with his body language which put me at ease in a new and different environment.  I remember after accepting the position he came to me, smiling and said I knew it was going to be you.  I can't wait to see what you do.   Over the years Bobby was more than just a 4-H Volunteer.  Sure he came in and did carpentry workshops with the kids, ran the electric program, and taught countless volunteer workshops.  Before my tenure in the program he was a volunteer with Young Leaders 4-H Club when his children were in 4-H.  He volunteered to take 4-H members to c...
