Tuesday Camp Day

Greetings Everyone!
Look at the FB pics posted on the Virginia Cooperative Extension-Lynchburg page and see if you recognize the classes the students are working on in the photos?

The following classes have images for Tuesday. The rest to come in Wednesday's batch.
Archery, Basketball, Canoeing, CIT with Kevin Camm, Fishing, Leather Craft, Multimedia, Nature and Forestry, Nature Crafts, Outdoor Cooking, Riflery, Rocketry, Scuba, Swimming 1 and some Volleyball too.

The Campfire was a raucous event with songs and stories and an enthusiastic crowd. Surrounding the campers were Big Brown Bats catching insects over the cove and Cricket frogs clacking away on the edge of the Lake.
 

The Campers often speak of what they will do NEXT YEAR! Not to mention the future CIT's!

 Group Meetings beside the Lake, can they form a circle?

Come back tomorrow to get a glimpse of this years new shutter bug and blogger!

Holiday Lake 4H Camp Monday Adventures

Arrived to some light rain but we were not deterred. The opening assembly began to the theme from The Lion King and the camp staff introduced themselves. Our intrepid extension agents, Bonnie and Kevin, introduced the teen leaders and adult leaders to enthusiastic cheers for all.

Today's lunch was personal pepperoni pizza with canned corn and celery/carrots with ranch. Salad bar excelled with egg salad and chicken salad choices. Lemonade and tea was good for washing it all down.

The rainy weather was gone with overcast skies and humid air but kids were ready for their next activities. The pool was very popular for rec time and at  night swim.

Dinner was well received with fried chicken, scalloped potatoes, rolls, cookie and salad bar!

One part of camp that is not so much fun is lining up when the intercom voices rally the troops at various times.

At the end of the day, the flag lowering ceremony is a very formal gathering with everyone showing respect for the 4H, Virginia State, and US flags. District 7 did a great job helping fold each flag carefully.

 Mail call was FUN!
 

News from Carnifield: District 9 won the cumulative ticket count!

Tuesday's activities reported Tomorrow after Breakfast. Classes, Classes and more Classes for great learning fun! And CAMPFIRE! Do Come Back!

We made it to 4-H Camp!

Today started off a little overcast, but the campers didn't mind as they were excited to get to 4-H Camp.  Some of the parents wanted to come too :)

We also had several canned goods donated for the less fortunate in Appomattox and Lynchburg.

The rain was coming down at a good pace when the campers arrived at camp, but that didn't stop the campers from getting moved in...and yes, some even played gau-gau.  The rain quickly moved on out during opening assembly.

And of course, everyone was ready for lunch.  The campers lined up and sang a grace song and headed on in the dining hall.

Everyone is now off to do health checks, swim tests, and camp tours...more to come!

One Week Away!!
