Cloverbud camp a success

Early this month, we had our first Cloverbud camp in two years. 15 Cloverbuds (mostly from Washington County) attended, many of them spending their first night away from home.

A grand time was had by all, as the Cloverbuds (or Bovercluds, as FreakShow likes to call them) made holiday decorations and even created life-sized self portraits.


On Saturday, we were visited by Dr. Andy Overbay who brought his full-sized dairy cow models and taught us all about where milk comes from.



Also on Saturday, campers got to design their own constellations and add them to our home-made planetarium.



Overall, Cloverbud Camp was a success....but it would not have been without the help of our terrific volunteers. Jordan Caudill and Emi Scott, both teens from Smyth County, were joined by several former summer camp staff members who volunteered for Cloverbudy duty.




So many thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers and our terrific Cloverbud campers...I hope we see you all again this summer!
