4-H junior members filled two days and one night with outdoor adventures, fun in the sun, and team-building activities on June 6 and 7 at Crooked Creek Christian Camp in Washington. ISU Extension and Outreach team Region 19, including Iowa, Johnson, Keokuk, and Washington Counties, work together to offer this camping experience annually to their 4th – 6th-grade members. Campers participated in a variety of activities, including canoeing, fishing, swimming, water slide, mindfulness exercises, a grilled cheese food challenge, archery, tie-dye, and more. Special guest presenters Bows & Bullets 4-H Club, Tanner Wenger for Taekwondo, and extension staff from Washington, Johnson, Keokuk, and Iowa counties delivered other programs. Region 19 4-H staff were excited to offer this overnight opportunity again as they took a few years off due to COVID. For more information about joining 4-H, summer camp opportunities, or how to volunteer for Washington County 4-H, please contact the Washington County Extension Office at 319-653-4811.
