4-H Cloverbuds at Dyken Pond 

The 2011 Cloverbud Outing  

Cloverbuds from around the county gathered at Dyken Pond Environmental Center for a Wildlife discovery.  They made their own trail mix to snack on during the day, visited a historic well, and searched for things that "didn't belong" in the forestl.  They even learned how to use their Coyote sign to signal to each other silently when they spotted forest creatures.

 

Using their HEARTS to care and cooperate.

 

Using their HANDS to work and help.

 

Using their HEALTH to be safe and strong.

Cloverbuds are the youngest participants in the 4-H Program.  They are enthusiastic, curious, creative, robust and resilient young people who are growing physically, cognitively, socially and emotionally through a period of rapid and often uneven development.  We know that each child develops on his or her own timetable so our Cloverbud Program provides a wide selection of activities.  4-H leaders can choose activities that are most appropriate for the developmental needs of their own Cloverbud members.
