Summer at N.C. Cooperative Extension is usually a busy time as our hands-on interactive Summer Fun Day Camps are in full swing. However, per the request of local and state guidelines, we are doing distance learning opportunities this summer.

To meet the needs of our community and to promote hands-on learning, the goal of our 4-H programming, N.C. Cooperative Extension – Davie County Center has created hundreds of hands-on kits for youth in our community. Each kit contains fun and interactive lessons geared towards learning and healthy living.
