NC 4-H Camp Comeback

Author: Lindsay Arthur

Planning Unit: Bourbon County CES

Major Program: Camping

Plan of Work: Basic Life Skill Education

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The presence of life skill development and camp magic was certainly missing in 2020. With Nicholas County having North Central 4-H Camp right in the county, it is a summer tradition attended by many youth and looked forward to by adult volunteers. Attendance has been growing well in the county prior to 2020 with numbers increasing in large increments such as taking 30 more campers in 2019 than 2018. With the opportunity to return to camp July 5th - 8th the Extension Office started marketing camp and spreading the word that we would be returning this year. We were so proud to fill our portion of camp with a total of 63 in attendance including 47 campers and 8 adult volunteers. While things may have not looked as the normally do, youth still gained immense team building skills (even staying 6 feet apart), grew personally through gained independence and had a week during the summer they will never forget.
