ISU Extension Summer Daycamps for July, August

Daycamps offered by Iowa State University Extension in Allamakee County are still available for registration this summer. ISU Extension summer daycamps provide a learning experience in a safe environment with professional staff.  Camp curricula draw on the knowledge base of Iowa State University Extension and the 4-H program with a century of experience in positive youth development.
Daycamps begin in mid-June and have a registration fee due one week before camp.   Camp participants need to bring a sack lunch, water bottle, a hat, bug spray and wear casual comfortable clothes and sunscreen. Space is limited, so early registration is recommended.
Brochures for the daycamps were distributed at area schools and are available at the Allamakee County Extension office or online at www.extension.iastate.edu/allamakee. Below are the 2010 Daycamps taking place in July and August:
