Windham-Tolland 4-H Camp News
Despite the heat, there was lots of fun and laughter, friendships made and new skills learned at camp this summer. We ran at close to full capacity all summer with 800 children attending for over 1,450 camper weeks.
As our summer program ends, we move on to concentrating on our Ragged Hill Woods program offerings. We are excited to announce the appointment of Alyssa Harvey as our new full-time Senior Program Coordinator. Alyssa will be helping with curriculum development, teaching, social media and recruitment. Alyssa worked with our Summer Camp Program for many years before taking the last two summers off to pursue other educational and career opportunities. We are thrilled that she will be bringing her expertise, love of children and the outdoors to our programs.
To help with the expansion our Grants Committee is hard at work to raise funds. The Chelsea Groton Foundation recently awarded Ragged Hill Woods $3,500 to help with program expansion. Program expansion includes increased staffing, supplies and providing fee support to help more students attend programs. We are very grateful for this grant support.
Our fall series of Wednesday programs (4:30-5:30 p.m.) will be held on Sept. 10, 17, 24, and Oct. 1, 15 and 22. Check out our website for more details to sign up for one program or the series — or call the office.
