Summer can be a great time for learning.
The Adair County 4-H Youth Council will hold summer day camps across the county with themes of nature, space, and cultural awareness. The day camps will include hands-on learning experiences along with reading experiences. In addition, the elementary students will be encouraged to read at home through an incentive program in which they can earn books. Any books that are not awarded as part of the incentive program will be donated to local libraries to add to their children's nonfiction collections. Unfortunately, many children don't have a positive learning environment for the summer and tend to lose some of their reading skills.
