2015 4-H Sewing Day Camps & Service Project
This summer, five sewing day camps and a sewing service project have been scheduled in June and
July. One project will be completed at each day camp. 4-Hers may participate in one or more of the day
camps, based on their interest and skill level. An adult or older teen will need to attend the camp with
each 4-Her to help them interpret instructions and complete their project. Each 4-Her will also need to
bring their own sewing machine.
Youth and adults are encouraged to attend the sewing service project together and donate supplies to
make the hospital gowns or no no arm bands. All items made will be donated to Operation Smile.
To register for the Sewing Day Camps and the sewing service project, please go to ut.4honline.com.
