Busy summer for 4-H members Barrow 4-H has had a summer of fun in 2016 with day camps and classes of all kinds. From May 24-26 local 4-H members held their annual Science Day Camp. The three-day program featured experiments and lessons on topics in astron omy, environmental science, meteorology, and engineer ing and was attended by more than 20 youth. The classes were planned and taught entirely by 4-H teen leaders and featured such unique lessons as the toilet paper solar system, nature scavenger hunt and crush rockets. The 2016 camp was done in a part nership with instructor Lani Pacetti at Sims Academy of Innovation and Technology, this allowed the camp to use Sims classrooms and tech nology for the activities. Following Science Camp, the Barrow Robotics team held its first Lego Robotics Academy May 31-June 2 at Sims Academy. Attended by 32 youth, the Robotics Academy walked the youth through the basics of robotics design and programming using Lego Mindstorms NXT kits. The youth were organized into teams of three and worked together through the course of the program that was taught by the high school members of the Bar- row Robotics team along with mentor and Mechatron- ics instructor Curtis Mathis. The final day of the camp the kids took part in a FIRST Lego League styled competition designed by the instructors called Mars Explorers. The youth had to design and program a robot that maneuvered on a table sized playing field to retrieve soil samples and bring them to science sta tions scattered across the surface of Mars. Wahsega Friday Fun Day is a sort of mini-camp that was held June 3rd-4th at Wahsega 4-H Center near Dahlonega. The program is essentially a week long camp crammed together into the two days. It gives kids who would not nor mally have the opportunity to attend summer camp a chance to experience this 4-H activity. Activities include high ropes courses, fishing, swimming, nature hikes, herpetology lab, team work challenges and many more unique opportunities. Jam Day/Food Frenzy held on June 14 is a food based program which teach es the youth the unique art of making homemade jam. Attended by 12 youth they had a “smashing” time cre ating strawberry jam and blueberry jam in this messy class. Food Frenzy is a take on television cooking com petitions which has youth working to making a meal using odd ball ingredients. SURVIVAL SHELTER Maggie McBride works on her survival shelter during Wahsega Friday Fun Day. The class works to encourage youth to make their own food rather than relying on microwave meals and promote kitchen safety. The three-round com petition had youth using mystery ingredients as they created oddball nachos, spe cialty drinks, and reinvented hot dogs.
