Registration underway for 4-H Day Camp
Registration for 4-H Day Camp 2021 is open. 4-H Day Camp is set for June 15, 16 and 17 at Rock River Christian Camp in Polo. Sign up today to get your child in on all the amazing fun. Youth may choose to participate in all three days of camp or attend the dates that work best in their schedule. 4-H Day Camp is a day-camping experience that is conducted cooperatively by University of Illinois Extension staff in Boone, Carroll, DeKalb, Jo Daviess, Lee, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside and Winnebago counties and the professional staff at RRCC.
Parents have sent their children to 4-H camp for a variety of reasons: to have fun, to make new friends, to develop new skills, to be physically active and to appreciate nature. 4-H camp is way more than a few days of fun. Sending your child to 4-H camp will allow them to create memories they will carry with them through adulthood. 4-H camp teaches youth to make good decisions, builds their self-confidence, and helps them to become independent and gain the ability to work well with others. These skills will help youth develop into strong adult leaders. 4-H camp counselors devote much of their personal time to ensure today’s campers have the same great experience they did as children.
Campers will check in daily at 9 a.m. Daily checkout begins at 8 p.m. During camp week, youth will engage in a variety of activities designed to challenge, educate and entertain. Two or three free-choice periods will be offered daily and will include options such as hiking, shooting sports, arts and crafts, crate stacking, team building challenges, zip lining, swimming and more. Early evening activities will be provided by 4-H camp counselors and will include campfires, a games night and an adventure night.
4-H camp is open to all boys and girls ages 8 to 14 by June 15, 2021. 4-H membership is not required. All participants will be expected to comply with the same high behavior standards expected of 4-H’ers.
Cost for each day is $60. Camp fees must be paid in full by May 3.

WHITESIDE COUNTY Local 4-H teen leaders to teach digital skills
In Whiteside County, local teen leaders are working with the Whiteside County 4-H, community members and Microsoft to develop targeted digital skills training.

The 4-H Digital Ambassadors are excited to bring a series of training events to adults of all ages on the following dates: April 24, May 15 and 22, June 5 and 12 and July 17. Training will take place at the Whiteside County Extension Office, 12923 Lawrence Road, from 8 to 9:30 a.m. each day. Each training session will cover a different topic and will have time built in for questions and answers. Participants are encouraged to register to reserve a seat. There is limited space and equipment. You can register by calling the Whiteside County Extension Office at 815-632-3611 or by going online at go.illinois.edu/Whiteside4HDigital.
Topics covered include: • Keyboarding and computer basics • Browsing the web • Email basics • Understanding computer files • Social media and video chat • Online banking and more
These training sessions will help the community take advantage of the new opportunities available to them as broadband access reaches their communities. Broadband internet access was made possible by Microsoft’s Airband initiative, which aims to extend broadband to three million Americans living in rural areas by June 2022.

Black Hawk celebrating Community College Month
April is Community College Month. It is a time to celebrate a uniquely American institution, a place where anyone from any walk of life can become a college student.
From the beginning, Black Hawk College has been here to serve the community. The college began in 1946 as Moline Community College to accommodate World War II veterans seeking higher education.
A lot has changed in 75 years, but one thing has not – Black Hawk College is still here, adapting and evolving to continue serving the needs of the community.
Black Hawk College offers opportunities for: • High school students to earn college credit while still in high school. • Recent graduates, as well as adult learners, to get an education and quickly enter the workforce. • Businesses to hire local employees with specialized skills and training. • Immigrants to learn English and become part of their new community.
Join us this month in celebrating Black Hawk College. For a list of events, visit www.bhc.edu/events.
Want to become a Black Hawk College student? Apply for free April 1824. Go to www.bhc.edu/apply to learn more.
Registration for summer and fall classes begins Tuesday, April 6. Check out summer and fall class offerings at www.bhc.edu/schedules.
At least 12 scholarships will be awarded by the Tri-County Opportunities Council to income-eligible students residing in the agency’s service area.
The scholarships are worth up to $1,250 and have been made available by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Development through its Community Services Block Grant funds.
