Gracie Johnson representing Custer County 4-H as a Jr Counselor in Training at the recent Dare to be You camp. 🙂

Gracie was given her own group of 8 campers and helped lead them through the weekend. They had workshops on Civil discourse, parliamentary procedure, dancing, MRE’s, and more! They also made 14 blankets/cards for the Children’s Hospital. 🫶🏻 Throw in group games, a pop art project, flag making, crafts, and roasting marshmallows!

Gracie is living the 4-H pledge and well on her way to becoming a future leader.

Anyone ages 5-18 can join 4-H.
