Elm Fork Explorers Summer Camp

"Think BIG, Believe BIG, Act BIG, And the Results will be, BIG."

2019-2020 Every summer UNT holds an educational science camp in the Environmental Science building on the corner of Hickory St. and Avenue C on UNT campus. The camp lasts for a total of five weeks, but each week different half-day sessions are held. Grade levels are separated; 2nd-4th, 3rd-5th, 6th-8th. The camp hires volunteers to work as Junior Counselors, to work along side the head counselors for those weeks.

This opportunity allows people to gain leadership skills and experience, along with volunteer hours.

Shout out to the DHS students that worked as Jc's for those few weeks!

Kung Fu Tea Fundraiser JUNE 21, 2019 On June 21st Denton High School teamed up with Kung Fu Tea at their Rayzor Ranch Location, in Denton, Texas. Kung Fu Tea partners with local groups and organizations to raise money.

Students of Denton high school came to the fundraiser and enjoyed bubble tea with their friends and family. Plus, the members of the key club got one service hour if they sent a photo of themselves and their drink to one of the clubs board members.

We had a lot of people show up to support our club and are glad to see people are having a great summer!
