A shy camper decided to attend 4-H camp for the first time in summer of 2021. She struggled with the small groups she had to interact with and spent a good amount of time homesick. To combat this, CEA 4-H Sharee Rushing, provided this camper with materials to draw—an interest the camper had shared and sat with her while she worked on the project. While not a traditional, “camp activity” this camper excelled at drawing, and was able to find her calm and rejoin her group. While she made the decision that camp probably wasn’t her favorite activity, she eagerly participated in creative projects. This student decided to enter a drawing of hers from camp to the county showcase, it received a blue ribbon and moved onto the Kentucky State Fair where it also received a Blue Ribbon. This student was then able to make her first trip to the Kentucky State Fair. In the early summer of 2022 this camper reached out to share her interest in participating in the county showcase with more of her original artwork and shared her excitement at the possibility of moving her exhibit up to the 2022 Kentucky State Fair, “I have a goal to get at least 3 exhibits to the fair! That’ll be 2 more than last year!”—Leah, 11.
