LMA ASSISTS 4H TO
TEACH YOUNGSTERS ABOUT THE LAKE
Each year the 4H Division
of the Clemson Extension Service runs a weeklong educational program for
youngsters ages 10-12. This year the program will be run from June 15-19.
LMA along with DHEC and DNR assist 4H in the program. LMA provides pontoon
boats for activities on the lake.
The youngsters spend the
week learning about the history of the lake, the sources of the water,
causes for pollution and how to prevent it, safe boating and what lives in
the lake, among other things. Besides spending 2 days learning about the
lake while touring on the pontoons, the students will find time to fish,
swim and have fun.
The classroom activities
take place at the SCE&G park at the dam. The cost of the program is $100
per child. For further information contact the Lexington County Extension
Service at (803) 359-8515, ext 0. Students do not have to be 4H members or
residents of Lexington
County.
