Outcome: Initial Outcome
Attending 4-H Camp is a magical experience where youth get to meet new friends, find themselves, and are accepted for just being themselves. It is also a place where they become more independent and learn life skills. This summer the 4-H Youth Development Agent advertised a 3 day, 2 night 4-H Camp experience for youth ages 6-8 years of age to Scott County residence. Cloverbud Camp gives youth who are not quit ready for a week long over night camp, a taste of the fun and magic of 4-H Camp. Through this advertising on social media and emailing it to the entire age group of 6-8 year olds enrolled in Scott County 4-H, the 4-H Youth Development agent had a record number of participants. A total of 13 people from Scott County attended 4-H Cloverbud, this included 9 youth ( 6 females, 3 males), 3 adult chaperons, (2 female, 1 male), and 1 4-H Youth Development Agent. The 4-H Youth Development Agent had a mandatory camp orientation where they went over the grounds of camp, expectation of the camper and parents, schedule, country story prices, what to pack for camp, etc. During camp youth and chaperons were able to participate in canoeing, low ropes, recreation, foods, tie dye, nature, swimming, sally down the alley,sadie games, and much more! Throughout this weekend camping experience youth were able to learn basic life skills such as sweeping the floor, cleaning tables, organization of person items, and personal hygeine skills. While also learning about environmental education and other life skills such as wildlife, caring for our planet, learning how to canoe, working together as a team, and building strong relationships with new friends.
