Last Thursday, 16 Pike County Clover Kids joined us for a fun-filled day of hands-on learning at the Pike County 4-H Clover Kid Day Camp!🍀

Because we were having so much fun, we didn’t take many photos, but throughout the day, Clover Kids (ages 5-7) participated in a variety of activities focused on nutrition, STEM, wildlife, and more. They built and decorated bird houses🐦‍⬛🏠🪺, created Mr. Potato Grass Heads😎🥔🌱, engineered spaghetti and marshmallow towers🗼, learned about the food rainbow🍓🍊🍋🥒🫐🍇🍌, made healthy fruit and spinach smoothies🧋, and wrapped up the day by watching rockets launch🚀.

A huge thank you to our amazing volunteers and parents who helped make the day possible. And thank you to the Bill Allen Resource Center for allowing us to host the event in the new event space. Events like this would not be successful without everyone’s time, support, and willingness to invest in our youth.

It was great to see so much creativity, curiosity, and excitement from our youngest 4-H members. We look forward to offering more opportunities like this in the future!
