Region 15 Enjoys Opportunity at Camp!

I received an email late last week about a trip Region 15 (Iowa, Johnson, Keokuk, and Washington Counties) just returned from. Tricia Stouder from ISU Extension and Outreach in Region 15 sent an e-mail to share with us about the recent trip that their group made out to the Iowa 4-H Center.

66 kids, 2 adults, and one staff member were able to make a trip to the Iowa 4-H Center for camp during the month of June. The kids stayed busy with many activities including crafts and learning campfire songs. We can tell by the pictures that this group stayed very busy during their visit.

Region 15 campers were able to make the trip to camp thanks to a transportation grant that they received from the Iowa 4-H Foundation. The Iowa 4-H Foundation is happy to provide funding opportunities, such as this, for Iowa 4-H’ers.

We would like to thank Tricia for sending us pictures of their trip for us to share. We are very happy to see that they enjoyed their stay at the Iowa 4-H Center!

Alumni Spotlight: Lindsay Mickelson

When one thinks of 4-H, they might not jump to music. However, 4-H allows youth to develop skills that help in areas of creativity and performance. Lindsay Mickelson was a Dayton Tiger 4-H’er from Webster County. Involved in several project areas, she loved to show pigs at county and State Fair, cattle for a couple years, photography, baking and Share the Fun. “I have so many great memories from 4-H. From playing cards in the cattle barns with friends to earning trophies for raising a fine-looking pig,” says Mickelson. “Fair time was always my favorite time of year because it combined my two favorite things: hanging out with friends and tending to the animals. I can remember the first year when I started 4-H, we had our calves so tame we would lay on them in the barn, just because they would let us.
