Author: Hollyn Howard

Planning Unit: Nelson County CES

Major Program: Communications and Expressive Arts

Plan of Work: Providing Positive Youth Development Opportunities for the Youth of Nelson County

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Nelson County 4-H Youth Development Agents worked collaboratively to lead a Cloverbud Day Camp Series for 8 participants ages 5-8. The series took place over a duration of 3, half day intervals, during fall break for the majority of schools within Nelson County. One agent covered Natural Resources, Art, and SET. The other agent covered Agriculture, FCS, and Communications areas. Health was sprinkled in amongst programming. 

This program was designed to introduce core curriculum areas to this age group. The intended long-term outcome is that a number of these participants will be come 4-H members in the future, enter projects into the Cloverbud category of the county fair, or return to Cloverbud camp the following year.

Initial Outcome- 8 Cloverbud age participants completed projects within all 7 core curriculum areas of 4-H. It was observed that they enjoyed the activities and discovered new things that they were good at.

Intermediate Outcome-  2/8 of the participants have continued to stay involved with 4-H programming by attending other club meetings with a chaperone and entered projects into the county fair.
