Time to enroll in the Cloverbud Mad Scientist Camp!

Eureka! All kids ages 5-7 in Douglas County are invited to the 4-H Cloverbud “Mad Scientist” Camp on June 10 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock.

We’re cooking up fun in the 4-H Science Laboratory this summer. Youngsters will mix up fizzy concoctions, be science detectives, and take trips through the Fun Dome where anything could happen. All our little Mad Scientists will play science games, make crafts to take home, and keep their energy up with snacks and drinks they make themselves.

“I went to the last two camps and they were both fun. I really liked making crafts, and being able to make my own snacks”, said Jenna age 8. “It was all really fun!”

This annual event is open to children ages 5-7. They do not need to be enrolled in the 4-H Cloverbud Program to participate. Cost is for materials and snacks only: Cloverbuds are $10 and non-Cloverbuds are $15.

The 4-H Cloverbud program is designed to build self-esteem through successful learning experiences. Each lesson addresses one or more youth development concepts: self protection, global awareness, youth connectedness, and career development.

If you are interested in enrolling your child in the 4-H Cloverbud “Mad Scientist” Camp, you can find more information on the registration form at the 4-H website at www.douglascountyextension.org. Click the 4-H/Youth link and then Coming Events at the top of the main 4-H page.
