Presque Isle, Michigan
The April 4-H News You Can Use has just been printed and should arrive in your mailbox this week. You can click here to see an online version. Below are a few links to help you learn more about some of the opportunities mentioned in the newsletter.
First, if you are a youth or a parent of a youth who loves the outdoors, consider the 4-H Great Lakes and Natural Resources Camp. This is a great camp in Presque Isle, Michigan that has won numerous national awards. To encourage participants from the county, the Youth Council is offering scholarships to cover half of the $335 camp fee. There are a limited amount of scholarships, so call or email Monica soon (mrobinso@msu.edu) if you’re interested in attending! Registrations are due May 1, 2009.
The camp runs from August 2-9, 2009, and you can click here to see a sample schedule of events.
In this month’s newsletter, you’ll also notice a short survey about Still Project Workshops. The 4-H program is considering holding county-wide workshops (with free materials for youth!) where 4-H members could make a still project together under the instruction of a leader or skilled community member. Branch County 4-H has held similar workshops for their youth. Click here and scroll down to page three of the Branch County 4-H Newsletter to see a sample of the types of workshops we’re thinking of offering. You can email me at mrobinso@msu.edu or drop off the survey in your newsletter if you have any thoughts on this possible program!
