BRINGING CAMP HOME
The Knox County Sheriff Office was honored to assist The Wheeler Academy with the recent Knox County 4-H “Bringing Camp Home” program
4-H
Bringing Camp Home
Each year, Knox County 4-h invites local youth to an overnight camp where they learn new skills and have fun.
Due to the recent pandemic, the kids were unable to go to camp so, 4-H decided to Bring Camp Home!!!
Utilizing the Brehm Animal Science Building, 4-H was able to hold a daily camp and provide many of the same activities present during the overnight camp.
Helping Knox County Youth
The Wheeler Academy, a local martial arts school, along with the Knox County Sheriff’s Office taught the 4-H members tips and tactics for self defense.
Black Belt Youth Instructor Garrett Nokes and Officer McMahan teamed up to give a fun and rewarding presentation to help build confidence and understanding of self defense situations.
Mr. Nokes specializes in helping youth better themselves and is perfect at helping them understand the techniques he demonstrates.
Thank You
The Knox County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank 4-H and The Wheeler Academy for allowing us to work with them to help bring fun, educational, and safe programming to the youth of Knox County!!!
