New County Director Leads Busy 4-H Camp Calendar in Cheatham County

Congratulations to new UT/TSU Cheatham County Extension Director Sierra Knaus, who recently took over the position leading the Extension Office following the retirement of longtime Cheatham County Director Ronnie Barron. One of Knaus’ first tasks as Director is to oversee Cheatham County 4-H members who began summer camps recently. Some attended Junior Camp in Crossville, TN, while junior campers attended the Jr. 4-H Camp at the William P. Ridley 4-H Center. Junior campers participated in dozens of different hands-on activities throughout the week. Campers learned from the infamous “crazy critter guy” about wildlife, practiced their shooting skills in the rifle range, built various hands-on crafts in the “craft cabin,” enjoyed some time on the waterslide and in the pool, learned about health and fitness from 4-H HealthRocks Leaders, went zip-lining, played games, gathered around the campfire for s'mores and interactive camp skits from the camp staff, participated in a talent show in front of the entire camp, and so much more. Congrats campers!
