Hey, 4-H members ages 11-13 year olds. The “Dare to

Be You Camp” just for your age group is returning this

fall. Plans are still tentative, but the South Central

District officer team has tentatively scheduled the camp

for Nov. 16-18 in Pueblo. In the past, this camp has

cost around $90 per camper, but this year the officer

team is working hard to hold the cost under $50 per

camper. Spread the word and get your friends to

attend. There will be fun, hands-on workshops, a

dance, ice-breakers to get to know everyone and, most

of all, lasting experiences. Put the date on your

calendar and watch your e-mail and the November

newsletter for more details.

Showing off your favorite places to visitors can be as fun

as visiting new places yourself. Thanks to the 4-H

Exchange program, youth clubs from Ark. to Wash. have

enjoyed the best of both worlds.

If your club would like to experience another part of the

country or to share your home state with a visiting club,

the 4-H Exchange database makes it easy to get started.

Simply submit your free exchange ad online, highlighting

the "best of" your state and listing what parts of the

country you'd like to visit, as well as your preferred travel

and/or host dates.

Submit your ad and to read other ads from clubs across
