Chester County SC 4H Program

The Friday Fishing Camp is full!
...but.....

If you missed out on the Friday camp, join us for the Saturday June 20 Anglers Workshop!

Get ready to cast a line and reel in some fun at the Chester County 4H Anglers Workshop! Youth ages 5-18 will learn the basics of fishing! They will learn how to choose bait, cast a fishing rod, clean a fish, and prepare it to eat. Campers will put their new skills to the test in an exciting fishing derby to see who can catch the most fish. It’s a hands-on outdoor adventure full of learning, teamwork, and friendly competition!

Ages: 5-18 years

Location: Sunny Day Farm pond, 1229 Sunnyday Dr, Chester 29706 (When you get on Dublin Rd turn up the drive with the white fence, follow the signs to the pond.)

Must be enrolled at 4-Honline to register for the camp.

Fishing Derby prizes will be awarded to the youth who catches and reels in the most fish in each age group. Cloverbud 5-8 years, Junior 9-13, Senior 14-18

Registration closes: Wednesday June 17 (there are limited registration spots, sign up early)

The rain threatened, but held off, and this past Saturday, Chester County 4-H hosted its first day camp of the summer! The “Day at the Farm” camp was held at Sunny Day Farm, where youth had the opportunity to meet dairy cows Dizzy and Norda and learn what it means to be a dairy cow.
Campers learned about the milking process, what cows eat, how baby calves are cared for, and they learned about the many dairy products that are made from milk.
The day ended with fun hands-on learning activities as the kids made their own “total mixed ration” and they also made butter from heavy cream!

Welcome to the world Cluck Norris, Amazing Alex and Ollie!

EGGROLL is taking the job of oldest sibling very seriously and was kind of a bully to begin with!

The first round of 4-H chick hatch in the schools is wrapping up! Thank you again to the Lutz Foundation for sponsoring this school enrichment program in which the students get to learn through first hand experience all about the life cycle of a chicken!
Due to their generosity 4-H is able to provide the chick hatch to classrooms at no cost.
