It was a fun filled week for 4-H campers who participated in "Wet and Wild - water education camp" during the spring break week. Campers explored water molecule, hydrogen cycle, and various water analysis methods by hands-on experiences.

Everyone had a great splash at Okeeheelee park pedal boats. Nature adventures were found at Green Cay Wetland and marine creatures were investigated at MacArthur Beach State Park. Campers enjoyed a fun swim at Calypso Bay Water Park and water cycle experience by making homemade ice cream!

Parents and family members observed campers accomplishments at the "Closing Ceremony" on Friday afternoon. Blue team challenged the audience by quiz bowl questions derived from what they learned over the week. 4-H will be offering 5 different thematic day camps this summer. Please call 561-233-1731 for more information.
