Sussex County 4-H hosted its fifth Experience Extension Day Camp June 26-30 at the Carvel Research and Education Center. 12 youth ages 11-14 were in attendance. Campers got to experience all extension has to offer including lessons on Horticulture, Poultry, Health, Entomology, Agriculture and of course
4-H!  We look forward to preparing for next year’s camp with many more exciting activities and opportunities! Thank you to our county Extension staff as well as our 4-H counselors who helped make the camp run smooth:  Austin Quackenbush, Ainsley West and Declan West

Sussex 4-H Day Camp was another great experience! “Superheroes” was our camp theme and throughout the week our 60 campers got to explore all different areas of 4-H; from Food Class and Science to Recreation and Arts and Crafts, the youth involved were engaged in many activities. In addition to these classes, campers got to hear from many “superhero” visitors during assemblies including:  Delaware State Police, Salisbury Zoo, Cooperative Extension Staff, Delaware Fire School, Watermelon Queen, Brielle Carter and Dairy Princess, Avery Kerrick.

Campers ended the week with a traditional Council Circle where they sang songs and performed group skits for their parents. Thank you to our assembly presenters as well as our counselors and counselors in training (CIT’s) who worked very hard to make this camp such a success! Counselors included:  Kyle Kerr, Carter Bradley, Ainsley West, Ruby DiSabatino, Austin Quackenbush, Alyssa Carpenter, Cole Carpenter, Ashley Adams, Demetreus Moutzalias, Rachel O’Day, Declan West and Caydance Means.  C.I.T’s included: Juliette Anger, Lillie Bradley, Reid Bradley, Addison Freebery, Cameron Hale, Logan Jackson, Embrey Means, Talia Moutzalias and Taylor Young.
