Calling all Cloverbuds-We're taking our popular Cloverbud Camp virtual! Cloverbud Camp is open to all area youth ages 5-7. Previous 4-H membership is not required. There are two sessions, with two dates for each session, so take your pick. December 1 from 6 to 7 p.m. or December 5 from 10 to 11 a.m. have SNOW much fun getting Grinchy! Then on December 8 from 6-7 p.m. or December 12 from 10 to 11 a.m. keep your eyes open for a Reindeer Rebellion, Santa will need help delivering gifts! 

During session 1 participants will do a science experiment to grow the Grinch’s heart and see a cool chemical reaction. They will have an opportunity to design and create a marshmallow snowflake, then have their own snow storm when they build a catapult to launch their snowflake.

For session 2 youth will help Santa deliver gifts despite the reindeer rebellion. They will make Santa a parachute! Then they can help him care for the reindeer by making them toothpaste.
