Mitchell County 4-H is going camping!!I wanted to reach out to share an opportunity with anyone who might be interested in attending a week-long summer camp at Betsy Jeff Penn 4-H camp. This will be a fun-filled week of horseback riding, kayaking, rock climbing, and more! Mitchell County has spots reserved for two boys ages 8-12; if we have more interest, I can look into getting more spots (male or female). The fee to reserve a spot is $50, which is on a first-come, first-serve basis. The total cost of the camp is $545 - This includes transportation, housing, meals, a t-shirt, and a weekly store card. There are scholarships available, but they are due soon, so don't wait! They have added a scholarship that includes WNC Hurricane Helene-affected regions, so every child in Mitchell County is eligible to apply. If you are interested in attending camp or have questions, please call the office at 828-688-4811, or you can email erin_silver@ncsu.edu.Links to Betsy Jeff Penn Information and Parent Guide:https://www.bjpenn4h.org/tips-for-first-time-parents/https://www.bjpenn4h.org/summer-camp/residential-camp/
