4-H'ers move to the Outdoors!!




Forget Survivor ‐ this is the way outdoors were meant to be enjoyed, where teamwork and rugged determination are lauded and only the best are rewarded with the ultimate prize ‐ being recognized as the top outdoor team in Texas. Kaufman County 4-H Outdoor and Recreation project member are preparing for the Outdoor Challenge to be held in June of 2010. Just think you and a group of friends could compete in a series of contests to find the best overall outdoors people in the state. 4-H project members will be challenged physically and mentally.

The 4-H members working in teams of 2 will participate in a series of competitions that will test their knowledge in Rifle, Fishing, Archery, Shotgun, Canoeing, Swimming, Orienteering, Camping Skills, Outdoor Safety, and Wildlife Identification.

To prepare for this event the Kaufman County group of 21 heading to Purtis Creek where they spent the weekend in beautiful weather learning and honing their skills. There they took to the water canoeing, found three of the GPS Caches at Purtis Creek and learned how to cook in the outdoors.

The next trip will be to the coast during spring break. If you like the outdoors, come join the fun.
