On June 5-9, 48 Polk County 4-H’ers recently attended Cloverleaf Summer Camp at Rock Eagle 4-H Center in Eatonton, Georgia. Cloverleaf 4-H’ers are 5th and 6th grade 4-H members.

Adult volunteers and teen leaders also joined the 4-H staff for a great week. Our teen leaders for the week were, Dalton Ely, Sarah Adair and Zoey Myrick

Georgia 4-H Summer Camp at Rock Eagle provides an outdoor summer program unparallel­ed in the nation. An array of workshops offered a hands-on experience that made learning fun.

Of course swimming, putt putt, nature trail and night hikes, crafts, and plenty of indoor and outdoor recreation time made sure that our week at camp was fun-filled from beginning to end.

Classes and workshops included: archery, canoeing, conservati­on, entomology, forestry, herpetolog­y, high ropes/adventure elements, HOP! (Health is Our Pledge), lake ecology, sailing, wildlife and more.

Georgia's 4-H summer camping program, administer­ed through the county offices of UGA Cooperativ­e Extension, offers a 4-H summer camping experience unparallel­ed in the nation.
