MORO — From superheroes to traveling around the world, OSU Sherman County Extension hosted local youth for two STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) day camps this summer.
Youth working for the Sherman County Youth Corps via Sherman County Prevention served as assistants and mentors.
“Their help was greatly appreciated, especially with all the dishwashing for the art/cooking camp,” said Cindy Brown, OSU Sherman County Extension 4-H/FCH-SNAP program coordinator, in a press release.
The “Science of Superpowers” camp was held July 15-19 for youth ages 6-9, with a focus on learning about superheroes and their powers, how those powers and abilities are related to similar ones in insects and animals, and doing plastic brick builds of various projects. A total of 47 youth attended over the four-day period. The camp used STEMfinity kits purchased in 2022 with grant funding from the Gorge STEM Hub and the Sherman County Cultural Coalitions.

The “Art and Food Around the World” camp was held July 29 through Aug. 1 for youth ages 10 and up; more than 40 attended. This camp combined curriculum from the STEMfinity camp “Traveling Artist” and 4-H “Global Gourmet.” Campers explored four countries, learning culture, art and food in Mexico, Greece, Japan and Ghana in Africa. Each day, the group did an art project before preparing five to six recipes from that country.
