After summer camp 2020 was cancelled we were allowed to attend summer camp in 2021 again but at half capacity. Anderson County 4-H, Bourbon County 4-H, and Nicholas County 4-H came together to provide a week long camping experience that helped campers and their teen and adult leaders learn and be a part of the 4 essential elements (Belonging, Independence, Mastery and Generosity) and having total present. Prior to camp, approximately 45 teen and adult leaders went through 24 hours of training, learning leadership, problem solving and teambuilding in order to help campers have a successful week. Several leaders said “They were so happy to be returning to camp after a year of camp being cancelled and enjoy camp training, it makes us feel part of a family and prepares us for giving campers a week of a live time.” The 45 leaders had a total of 3,240 volunteer hours for the camp week. Anderson County 4-H had several emails and messages about how safe parents felt sending their kids to camp during a pandemic and how their children had a great week at camp. 2021 Camp was a success even during a pandemic year.
