4-H Holds Celebration Camp For Navy Kids
July 24, 2013
A 20 local youth members of 4-H recently held four 4-H Celebration Camps at the Langley Bell 4-H Camp in Beulah.
The youth presented and demonstrated various aspects of 4-H to over 120 children in grades K-3 from the NAS Pensacola and Corry Station child development centers.
4-H members Izzy, Elise and Jessica talked about their goat and pig projects and the children were given the opportunity to learn about the animals and how much time and effort goes into preparing them for showing. They also demonstrated to the groups that having an animal is a huge responsibility.
Donnie, Jamie, Amanda and Dwayne showed rabbits, and the children were able to get up close with them. The children were able to ask questions and learn about keeping rabbits healthy and how to show them.
Rebekah, Dillon, Alex, Sir, Dominic and Elydia all taught the Children the 4-H Pledge with the words and hand motions. For the older groups they demonstrated how to run a 4-H meeting. They were able to create their own club and hold their own 4-H meeting.
4-H clubs taking part in the event included Barrineau Park, Spectrum, Tech Wizards, Lost Bay, the Lucky Clovers and the Escambia County 4-H Horse Club.

It was a great joy to see the large amount of children learning from our 4-H youth volunteers. They did a great job bringing in their animals and teaching. I hope that there will be a place that our 4-H youth can continue their animal science programs.
The transfer is complete and the kids have no place to go and show animals in a facility like the Langley Bell Center. It is a shame that the Extension Service will not support a location to replace the LBC.
The extension service has 13 more months to use the LBC and then NOTHING in the way of livestock or open areas for the kids to own and enjoy. If the parents want facilities such as the LBC contact Pam Allen or Nick Place and ask why they will not allow the 4-Her’s to purchase property.
So refreshing to see the Langley Bell Center being used for the kids….surely hope the kids will be able to get what they need/were promised/deserve after the sale and ownership transfer is complete.
