Comments From the Dean:
Nebraska 4-H Serves As National Hosts
Nebraska 4-H is pleased to be hosting the National Shooting Sport Event this week in Grand Island. Under the leadership of Steve Pritchard, over 440 young people and 130 coaches from 29 different states had the opportunity to test their skills, their decision making, and their endurance while making memories that will last a lifetime.
Our goal is to continually offer programs that are built upon a positive youth development model and reflect the essential elements of 4-H – independence, belonging, mastery, and generosity. As the Shooting Sports teams went through the various competitions this week, it was clear that they not only represented high achievers in terms of marksmanship, but in leadership potential as well. We are honored to have the opportunity to host them in Nebraska. A special thanks to Steve and all of the members of his team who made this event possible.
In addition to the Shooting Sports Event, Nebraska 4-H is hosting a variety of additional on-campus learning experiences this summer. Unicameral Youth Conference, Big Red Summer Camps, Robotics Camps, and PASE/Life Challenge are all opportunities for young people to visit UNL and interact with faculty across campus. We appreciate all who help with these events. It is exciting to see our programs shape the future of tomorrow’s leaders.

Daughter/Mother Camp Oct. 10-11, 2008
A retreat designed for sixth grade girls and their mothers (or grandmothers or other adult females), “Strengthening Family Treasures: Daughter/Mother Camp,” will be presented Friday, Oct. 10, 5 p.m., to Saturday, Oct. 11, 5 p.m., at Camp Carol Joy Holling, near Ashland.
This camp is two days and one night of fun, educational and confidence building activities. It is an opportunity for mothers with middle school daughters to enhance effective communication, learn more about body image and sexuality, explore techniques to handle peer pressure and discuss the importance of individual family values.
Registration is $125 per pair. Cost includes meals, snacks, lodging and program materials.
A survey of participants at earlier camps indicated 100% of the daughters and mothers gained a better understanding of differing personalities and 90% better understand the types of pressures teenagers experience. Mothers said they were thankful that presenters were not afraid to talk about uncomfortable topics and also indicated they plan to set aside more time to talk to their daughters about “what-if scenarios.”
A past participant said, “I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, the outdoors and private time with my daughter. The games and activities helped me see more of my daughter’s view. All was enlightening and jam packed. Lots of quality information in two days!”
Additional information and registration form is available on-line at http://lancaster.unl.edu/family/DaMoCmpF08.pdf or by calling Maureen Burson at (402) 441-7180 (Lincoln) or Mary Nelson at (402) 444-7804 (Omaha).
The retreat is sponsored by University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension.
