Madison County 4H Camp 2022

Author: Brandon Sears

Planning Unit: Madison County CES

Major Program: Camping

Plan of Work: Develop and Strengthen Leadership and Life Skills

Outcome: Initial Outcome

With COVID restrictions lifted, interest in 4H camp returned to near record levels and more volunteers were needed to help in various ways. The Madison County ANR agent attended camp to lead fishing education classes. Fishing poles and supplies were acquired and set up for approximately 45 youth among three different classes. New this year was a special “Polar Fishing” activity early in the morning with about 50 participants! Proper casting techniques, hook baiting, fish removal and equipment repair was taught to each child. In total, the ANR agent along with two adult volunteers taught approximately 90 4H youth how to fish over the four-day camping period from June 27-30th. Several campers caught their first fish. One of the adult volunteer instructors created a presentation with pictures of catches. We used 20 dozen night crawlers as bait during the camp!

The ANR agent also helped load/unload camper luggage and drove one of the trucks to J.M. Feltner Camp and back. As needed, help was also provided with activity set up, coordination of events, troubleshooting, youth assistance and errand runs.
