Cloverly Greetings,
As we approach the final days of March, it's exciting to think that April is already upon us! Time has flown by as we've been preparing for Clover University, Super Saturday, Discover Wisconsin, and various other exciting programs that will be here before we know it! Reflecting on my days as a 4-H youth member, I'm reminded of the excitement this season brings—the excitement of project work gearing up and the decisions on what to showcase at the fair. As youth continue to work on their projects, I encourage them to reflect on the project development; and think about the goals they have for the year.
Summer Camp Staff has begun to plan for the upcoming 2024 Summer Camp! Anticipate some truly engaging activities offered at camp this summer. I commend our youth counselors for their active involvement in crafting and refining these sessions! If you have not registered for Summer Camp, please do so! Registration for non-members will open on April 1st!
Stay updated by following our social media channels and visiting our website for the latest news and information.
Best Regards,
Jordan Blue
Chippewa County 4-H Program Educator
