4-H at Campbell County Environmental Day Camp!

Throughout October 4-H is participating in Campbell County Environmental Day Camps at the Campbell County Environmental Education Center for Campbell County fourth graders. The Environmental Day Camps focus on environmental education topics. Students will take a closer look at soils and learn it takes 500-1000 years to form just 1 inch of soil! Students get a chance to see solar energy and learn how it works. They also learn all about water and the water cycle. Students will even have a visit from the Kentucky Reptile Zoo!

We hope to see your 4th grade class there!

National 4-H Week- October 4-10

National 4-H Week will take off with a speedy start on October 4, as the 4-H emblem makes its debut appearance in a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race! The well-known 4-H clover will be featured on the No. 24 DuPont Chevrolet driven by Jeff Gordon at Kansas Speedway that day. The placement of the 4-H clover on Jeff Gordans No. 24 Chevrolet was made possible through a generous donation by DuPont, a sponsor of both the No. 24 team and of 4-H.“ 4-H has been a leader among youth development organizations, enriching the lives of millions of young people for more than100 years,” said Gordon. “It is an honor to have such an iconic emblem featured on the DuPont Chevrolet and to provide such an exciting way to help the nation kick-off National 4-H Week.”
