New Heights Achieved at 4-H Camp

Author: Mary McCarty

Planning Unit: Menifee County CES

Major Program: Camping

Plan of Work: Develop Individuals for Volunteer Roles

Outcome: Initial Outcome

It takes a village to plan and provide a successful program at 4-H Camp.  Magoffin, Menifee, Morgan, and Rowan County are a camping village.  With in our village are a group of teens and adults that we could not achieve success with out them.  

One of the Menifee County volunteers is a grandmother to a camper and a wife of the retire ANR/4-H Agent.  She has camped many years and when her granddaughter started to go to camp jumped at the opportunity to attend again. She brings history of Menifee County Extension program with her, and her stories are very helpful.  This year at camp she stated how she has always wanted to try to climb the rock wall.  Camp staff graciously fit her in the schedule so she could have her chance.  Though she did not make it to the top of the wall.  She showed every camper that age is just a number and that “Can’t” is not a word.  She met a personal fear head on and showed everyone that showing up and putting effort in is step one.
