Crenshaw County 4-H was able to send members to camp and improve their local facilities with a grant from Wiregrass RC&D. Seventeen students attended a camp at the Alabama 4-H Center in Columbiana, Alabama where they experienced new activities, formed friendships, developed leadership skills, gained wildlife knowledge, and so much more.
The grant also helped the Crenshaw County 4-H start a new Community Garden Club in which youth can learn gardening and farm safety information, including the Junior Master Gardener Curriculum, 4-H Grows Curriculum, and the Extension’s Grow More Give More program.The new Community Garden is not only educating the children participating but it is also teaching them how important it is to give back to the community in the form of fresh produce for those in need.
