Maine 4-H Days Rock!!

Here is a letter from, Tamra (Co-leader of NKOA) after attending Maine 4-H Days with her daughters:

"Arrive home a few hours ago from an amazing weekend at Maine 4H days. Arrived early Friday morning and stayed to the very end today!

I am very impressed! The entire event was so organized, the workshops for youth were amazing! It was a very relaxed and enjoyable environment! We loved the workshops, the planned activities in the evening, the animals, the families....made loads of new friends and reconnected with old ones! We were very comfortable at our site, you pick where you want to camp. I had 4 little ladies with me, I set up our camp REALLY close to the bathroom and main intersection to all the goings on! We had full use and access to the kitchen and the bathrooms had showers! Here is a list of the workshops we attended collectively:

Playoga
Sensory Discovery Games
My Dirt is Alive
Water Rocketry
Ember Bowl Making
Shelter Building
Everyone Lives Downstream
Wild & Wonderful
New Sewers Wanted!
Wet Felting
Green & Growing Earth Buddies
Archery
Land Navigation
Modular Origami
Natural Skin Care & Spa

Besides all of the above (over 2 1/2 days) there was a Creativity Center set up for kids to visit if they needed a break or had some free time. The center was LOADED with art and crafts supplies that were there for full (no restrictive) use! Plus, kids were riding their bikes everywhere, hanging out and making new friends. There was an ice cream social (Gifford's Ice Cream with ALL the fix-ins,) a parade, silent auction and scavenger hunt!

I am very excited about next years event already and am hoping that more families will join in!

It was also incredibly cool to be camping out under that huge, bright, full moon last night!"
