Alexander 4-H Summer Opportunities Recap
Eastern 4-H Center Camp

Alexander County youth had an awesome week of 4-H overnight camp on Bull's Bay in Columbia, NC.  Campers were able to experience all different activities and meet new friends.  

The following camps still have space available:
  • STEM Days
  • Discovery Days
  • Jr. Master Gardener Camp
  • 4-H20

Alexander 4-H has been very busy with summer programming.  We kicked summer off with some fun cooking camps. The first week we held BBQ Bootcamp for 9-14 year olds and the second week we had 5-8 year olds in Snack Attack. .  Snack Attack combined food snacks and books to reinforce the importance of reading while developing lasting life skills.  We then turned from the kitchen and took another group of young participants to Cloverbud Discover Camp.  This group visited Rendezvous Mountain, Zootastic Park , Catawba Science Center and .  Check out some of the pictures from these awesome camps!!
