Classic 4-H Summer Activities Lined Up
Classic 4-H Club Presents it Summer of Fun Activities
Submitted by: Rene’ McCracken, CEP-AgNR
The Classic 4-H Club is a summer only club of Cherokee County guided by cooperative extension agent, Rene’ McCracken. “Since last year when my committee and I created this club for summer only activities, we have been able to reach youth who have never even heard of 4-H and inspired them to move on and join clubs and continue their 4-H experiences. Last year, the club had 12 members who ranged in age from 17 down to 3 years of age. Youth enjoyed crafts, photography, jelly making, cooking, and fishing and in August were a part of a local competition where they were able to show off their projects and were awarded ribbons,” remarked McCracken.
This year we are planning some exciting meetings just with you in mind. The meetings will take place on Tuesdays, from 1 to 3 pm at the Cherokee County Extension Office. The following activities are planned:
July 5th Mad Science Lab Day – make slime and other fun chemical experiments.
July 12th Outdoor Fun Day – camping, water wars, homemade plant water jug, outdoor cooking
July 19th Fashion Show Day – hair/make-up, glitz and glamour or sporting and hunting gear
July 26th Project Day – selection of project to enter the contest and working to design the winners
Aug 2nd Video Premier – Selected youth will be creating a video or our summer experiences and premiering it on this day.
Aug 9th Summer Contest Round-Up, a panel of judges will review the projects submitted and award ribbons to participants.
Designed with the whole family in mind, there are several activities suited for ages three and up. Youth under the age of 8 will be required to have a responsible guardian with them at meetings. In addition, if your child requires special accommodations, please make those known prior to enrollment. It is not too late to join the group, there is no registration fee for the summer activities but please RSVP so that we will have a place for you by calling 903-683-5416 or reach Rene’ at lrmccracken@ag.tamu.edu. Don’t miss this opportunity to inspire your child to a lifetime of learning with 4-H.
