Summers County 4-H Camp 2016 bydlZ-Aesleeroodrum, Summer-5' “ County 4-H Agent Summers County 4-H held its annual camp June 12-15, 2016 at Camp Summers in Forest Hill, WV. Although a storm forced camp to close on June 15th instead of the 17th as planned, over 170 campers enjoyed a great four days of camp! This year's theme was Come on Down to 4-H Camp. On Tuesday, Cloverbuds came to 4-H Camp for the day. Cloverbuds are 5-8 year olds who are interested in seeing what 4-H camp is all about! While there, they made crafts, toured camp, sang songs, played parachute games, and enjoyed a pizza party. Unfortunately, camp ended early after a storm knocked the power out and a tree fell into a cabin. While ending camp early was difficult, the safety of campers is the top priority for Summers County 4-H. Summers County 4-H also appreciates the understanding and patience of parents in a very difficult situation.

Any refunds not given To SUMMER Will be used to pay for fiiture 4-H‘ camps and camp scholarships. This year, tribes were full of 4-H spirit. They were enthusiastic and hardworking through the whole week. During the week, the tribes compete for points based on cleaning, sports, swimming, sportsmanship, bed checks, songs, skits, and teamwork. Since camp ended early, we didn't have an opportunity to award the spirit stick to a tribe, but all of the tribes did a great job! The chiefs and sags for 2016 4-H Camp were: Cherokee: Shawn Gill, Chief; and Holly Williams and J .0. Wheeler, Sagamores. Delaware: Sydney Rosenberg, Chief; Maddie Lester and Jordan Huffman, Sagamores. Mingo: Katie Ward, Chief; Heather Browning and Griffin Stone, Sagamores. Seneca: Cameron Miller, Chief; Ashley Jones and Kasey Fitzpatrick, Sagamores. The chiefs and sags are responsible for leading their tribe and setting a good example. All of the chiefs and sags worked hard and did a great job during camp. Each H of 4—H stands for something important. The Head H is for clearer thinking and making good decisions. The Heart H is for loyalty and caring. The Hand H stands for helping others while the Health H is for better living.
