Happy Campers!

Well, it's that time of year again! It's the wonderful time of year when Richmond County 4-Hers get to have fun and experience new things at one of North Carolina's great 4-H Camps! This year 19 youth traveled from Richmond County to Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Camp in Reidsville, NC for a fun filled week of making new friends & learning new things.

After getting everyone settled into their cabins, the kids got to know everyone in their cabins and headed to the ball field for a cookout. After all the staff, agents and volunteers were introduced and shared an interesting fact about themselves (mine being that that I went to the University of Rio Grande, which rhymes with Ohio because the townspeople did not know how to pronounce it when they named the town) we learned some old time dances and even threw in some new stuff to get everyone on their feet too!

We also had our first campfire tonight too. We sang songs, laughed at skits, watched the fire and generally had a good time.

Be sure to check back often this week for updates! Click here to check out pictures from Sunday & be sure to send any camper emails to michelle_stumbo@ncsu.edu!
