WASHINGTON—Scores of kids from McDowell County, West Virgina will attend week-long 4-H summer camp programs this summer, thanks to a $5,000 donation to Reconnecting McDowell by United Steelworkers’ “Women of Steel” committees.



The 4-H camp in McDowell, run by the West Virginia University Extension Service, has a day program for children ages 5-12 and residential program for children ages 9-18. The theme for this summer’s camp is “Green Brick Road,” which focuses on the 4-H tradition of courage, heart, head and home. Activities include learning new skills such as archery, cooking and photography. Older campers have the opportunity to discuss teen issues, including drug abuse, relationships, money management and planning their futures. Healthy lifestyle classes and STEM courses (science, technology, engineering and math) also are offered.
