Outcome: Initial Outcome
Recreational opportunities are rare for youth in rural Carlisle County. This disparity, combined with the isolation youth have suffered during COVID shutdowns showed a need for these young people to come together and share some creative energy. Carlisle County Extension Service facilitated 4 summer project day camp opportunities focusing on different areas of creative interest: baking, photography, arts & home environment, and cake decorating.
The Project Days were a huge success with all classes meeting maximum capacity (plus a few more!). Youth created original art work and 250+ pieces were brought back for county fair judgement. Of these, 46 were selected for Kentucky State Fair entry, 2 of which returned with blue ribbons.
