something new, coding, growing, calculating,<br />
or cooking, help students in the real world, staff said.<br />
“At each camp, we focus on the staple of community-building<br />
by making each kid feel like they have<br />
a sense of belonging and feel included,” said Katie<br />
Peterson, 4-H youth program specialists for Jackson,<br />
Dubuque and Delaware counties. Through ice breaker<br />

have with students near and far and the opportunity to<br />
be with each other throughout the summer,” he said as<br />
he watched his students play tag on the playground. n<br />
