A week for youth to be “Unplugged"

Youth and Union County have been camping at the Clyde, Austin, 4H Camp and Greenville for many years. This summer will be no different. We will leave on Monday, June 5 and travel to Greenville on a school bus. We will spend four nights having the time of our lives. We will return on Friday, June 9th. After a week of exciting and constant activities, youth return home in need a nap!

Clovers for 4-H Camp

Although the brisk air is blowing, our 4-Hers have hot 4-H camp weather on their mind this season. From October 3-14, 2018, Tractor Supply partnered with Tennessee 4-H holding the Fall edition of the Paper Clover Campaign. The campaign is held biannually at TSC with 4-Hers working by selling paper clovers as a fundraiser to earn scholarship funds to attend 4-H camps. The 4-Hers receive eighty percent of all funds they raise during the campaign towards their personal camp fees.

Growth at 4-H Camp

Union County 4-Her’s had a blast at 4-H camps this summer. Junior 4-H Camp was held June 4-8 with a record of forty Union County 4th-6th graders attending. This was a large increase in attendance over past years. Junior High 4-H Camp was held July 9-11 with five Union Countians attending, including two teen leaders. Both camps are held in Greeneville at Clyde Austin 4-H Center, Monday through Friday annually.
