4-H Summer Camp delivery method is the most time and labor acquired than any other. Based on that fact, it still provides opportunities for youth & teens to learn independence, gain life skills, become positive & productive members of their community and learn how to make better decisions for their self and others. Summer Camp helps build self-confidence and self-esteem for all attendees.
