Health Rocks!

Health Rocks! day camp was a great success! We had a fun and busy three days of Health Rocks! day camp. Everyone who attended participated in a taste test, physical activity and made healthy snacks each day. On Monday Reser Bicycle of Newport, KY talked to us about bike safety and why we need to wear a helmet when riding our bikes. Kate Vaught talked to us about our BONES and the importance of calcium and we participated in the Milk Challenge. We had Dr. Herald of Herald Family Density located in Southgate, KY stop by on Tuesday to discuss oral hygiene and explain the proper way to brush and floss your teeth. We also talked about how to eat healthy when eating fast food and we picked out the healthy fast food options at fast food restaurants! On our last day Sallie Parker Lotz from NKU talked to us about the health related programs NKU has and the types of jobs you can have in health. Barb Heck explained sun safety and the importance of sun screen. Ronda Rex also stopped by and explained the consequences of smoking and why we shouldn’t smoke. At the end of Health Rocks! each camper had the chance to win some really cool prizes such as reds tickets and bicycles! Overall Health Rocks! day camp was awesome! Everyone had a great time and learned a lot of good information to keep us healthy.

4-H Community Teen Club

Campbell County 4-H is creating a new club just for teens!

The 4-H Community Teen Club will focus mainly on community service activities. The club will meet each month to volunteer as a group for an event or some sort of community service activity. Some of the community service topics we currently have in mind are working with the Ronald McDonald House, volunteering with Active Day, River Sweep, and a Habitat for Humanity trip summer of 2011. Some months we will take a break and just meet as a group for fun events, such as going to a Cincinnati Reds game or snow tubing as a group. 

If you are interested in joining the 4-H Community Teen Club please join us Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 for an Ice Cream Party at the Campbell County Extension Office in Highland Heights from 6-7pm. You can make your own ice cream sundae and learn more about the club and our first community service activity.  If you have any friends who might be interested in the 4-H Community Teen Club but not familiar with 4-H, please invite them to join us! The 4-H Community Teen Club is open to all Campbell County teens 14-18. Teens younger than 14 can join but must have completed the 8th grade.
