Show 4-H Club Members Organize Annual Three-Day Camps Utah's 4-H club members turned their attention this week to organization of three-day summer camps in five areas ot the state with Miss Fern Shipley Ship-ley and David Sharp Jr., assistant as-sistant state 4-H club directors, and J. Whitney Floyd, Extension Exten-sion Service forester helping out with plans for the club outings. 1 An annual activity of 4-H ! clubs throughout the state, the three-day camps combine in- J struction in handicraft, nature : study and fire control with rec- i reational programs and hikes, j the state leaders remarked. First of the camps to be held in Utah during the next two weeks was completed August 1 at Tony Grove Forest Camp in Logan canyon with youths from Cache, Rich, Box Elder and Weber We-ber county in attendance. Members attending this camp were treated to a new type provision pro-vision program that saw club ' officials prepare and serve the j daily meals at a nominal cost to the youths. In previous years, members had been required re-quired to carry provisions for the three-day outing and prepare pre-pare their own food, the state leaders explained. The new program, borrowed from mid-western states, was inaugurated as an experiment and if club leaders decide it is more practicable than having youths provide their own provisions pro-visions it will be adopted thru-out thru-out the state, Second camp began Monday as youths from Beaver and Piute Pi-ute opened their three-day outing out-ing at Big Flat, while the third outing was organized Thursday by boys and girls from Carbon and Emery counties. Iron, Garfield and Kane county coun-ty members will follow up August Aug-ust 10 with their camp at Duck Creek, and Summit and Wasatch Wa-satch 4-H'ers have scheduled their outing August 13, 14 and 15. Clubs not included in areas sponsoring regular camps will hold over-night hike club outings out-ings and 4-H Days instead, Miss Shipley and Mr. Sharp stated. |
