Page 7 Hendry County 4-H Happenings

 From the State 4-H Office: Just as you have, Florida 4-H has continued to monitor the COVID-19 situation. In
line with the direction of the University of Florida, the CDC, and others we are very disappointed to share
with you that in-person Florida 4-H summer programs have been canceled through July 31, 2020. This
means this summer we will not have in-person offerings of the traditional events we have enjoyed for dec-
ades such as summer day camps, 4-H Legislature, 4-H University, and residential camping at Camp Timpoo-
chee, Camp Cherry Lake, and Camp Cloverleaf. This is undoubtedly disappointing. Please know it is to us
too. This has been an agonizing decision which was not made lightly. It was made in consideration of the
health of all in our 4-H family.

Instead of in-person programs, we are currently working on ways for our 4-H members to connect through
virtual means. We know this is may not look the same, but we feel a great responsibility to continue to pro-
vide our 4-H members and families a place to learn, lead, serve, grow, and belong. Understandably, as this is
new territory for all of us, we don’t know exactly what these alternatives will look like yet. However, 4-H has
a history of youth-adult partnership and we value our youth as the problem solvers they are.

We will be tasking some of our own youth leaders to help us create innovative solutions. This is unprece-
dented for us and we realize this is disappointing news. We believe we will hit the ground running with the
start of the 4-H year on September 1, 2020. Please know though that the safety of our 4-H members, volun-
teers, families, staff, and faculty is always our top priority, and thank you for your cooperation in keeping us
all healthy.
