Day Camp
By Kylee Harrison
Looking for a fun summer-time activity for your kiddos? The Wild West Extension District is offering five different day camps. The camps are open to any kid age 5 to 10 years old and each day is just $5 per child which includes lunch, a snack and all the fun activities!
It’s a Buggy Time – This theme dives into the creepy-crawly world of insects! Kids will make their own bee hotel while learning about pollination, see the life cycle of a butterfly and make a hungry caterpillar craft. A neighboring 4-H’er will be a guest speaker to the group and tell them all about the entomology project in 4-H and explain how to pin an insect. Kids will also enjoy a mystery menu lunch! This day camp will be in Liberal on June 22nd, Hugoton on July 6th and Sublette on July 13th.
Around the World – Take a tour around the world at this day camp in Liberal on June 29th. Kids will get to hear from fellow Wild West District agent, Nancy Honig about countries she has visited around the world and discuss their food, customs and landmarks. Kids will learn about passports, maps and flags and enjoy a Mexican food lunch.
Down on the Farm – The last day camp of the year will be July 27th in Liberal and will be a great farm experience. We have several guest speakers for the day that will show them tractors and lots of animals. Kids will also get to do a craft and learn about germination and growth of seeds. We will end the day with ice cream in a bag.
