Union County Extension in partnership with their summer AmeriCorps members are will be hosting 13 day camps and 4-H workshops this summer. These interactive camps provide youth with the opportunity to engage with others and venture into discovery. Camps are available for anyone from kindergarten to eighth grade. 4-H workshops are open to both 4-H and non-4-H members between fourth and 12th grade. Join the fun.
