2016-2017 Clover Kids

Registration for the 2016-2017 Clover Kids program will begin September 6

in first through third grades in Crawford County School Districts (Denison,

Schleswig, IKM-Manning, ARWEVA, Boyer Valley) and Private Schools.

This year, the Clover Kids program will focus on the 4 H’s of 4-H, what they

and world. Youth will participate in many hands-on activities designed to

build lots of different life skills in a group setting.
