Major Program: Summer Residential Camps
Working in a rural two-agent county presents a unique set of challenges. Sometimes those challenges come from unexpected places. Being forced out of a core 4-H camping group that Edmonson County had been part of for many years was an unexpected slap in the face. Kids were upset, as were parents and volunteers. As dutiful Extension Agents, we accepted the decision and moved ahead with joining a different, new camping group and dealing with changing to a different camping week.
