BEVERLY — At the 4H summer camp at Camp Pioneer, The 4H Files, the camp’s daily newspaper, keeps the campers informed and entertained.

“Coming into this class, almost all of us thought that this was going to be a cooking class because of the name of the class. It was a bit of a surprise, but I think it is fun! My favorite part of this class is taking pictures of the other campers and everything that goes on throughout the day.” said camper Kourtney Jones.

“When I first signed up for this class I thought it was going to be a cooking class, so when I found it was a newspaper class I was really excited. I have always found that the information in newspapers is very interesting to me. My favorite part about 4H camp is my classes.” said camper Ella Berdine.

“I knew that the class was a newspaper class and I was super excited about it because I have never taken a newspaper class before. My favorite part of this class is being able to take pictures. In this class I have learned how to put information together, which is really cool! 4H camp is so much fun!” said camper Hannah Cutright.

The newspaper class consisted of the three girls and their instructor, Crystal Pike.

During class time, the girls go around the camp throughout each day to take pictures of the different classes and activities that occur. They also make sure to pass out their daily newspapers to the rest of their fellow campers. At the end of the week, they create a slide show of all of the pictures that they collected.

“It has definitely been a pleasure to teach these girls. They came in ready to take charge. I hope they learn some things from this class and perhaps want to take it again next year,” said Pike.
