Cloverbuds Can Camp Too!

While our older campers probably spent that evening and day after we got back from Betsy-Jeff Penn 4-H Camp sleeping & recounting stories of camp fun for family members, our Cloverbuds got into the camping mood with a one night event at Millstone 4-H Camp right here in Richmond County!

About 30 youth ages 5-8 from Richmond, Moore & Scotland Counties gathered for the night to have fun and make new friends.  We sang camp songs, ate yummy food and spent the night in the newly renovated cabins at Millstone!  Of course, we took a few laps in the swimming pool.  The campers participated in classes where they got to take aim on the archery range, paddle around the lake by canoe, try to withstand the current in the creek & discover more about the world around us. 

We would like to send a BIG thank you to the staff of Millstone for letting us come out & have fun!  You all were great!  We also need to thank all the agents & volunteers (teens & grown-ups) for getting the kids there & making sure they were safe while having fun!  Jennifer Christensen of the Girl Scouts also came out & helped us learn some new campfire songs - THANKS!  Hope to see you all next year!!  If you want to see the rest of the pictures from the weekend - click here!
