As Covid 19 remains a part of the new normal and has forever changed the planning of a large group gather, but if felt refreshing to have a traditional 4-H Camping program.  The planning for the 2022 camping group understood the importance of giving our local youth a positive experience, due to past emotional and social health disconnect.  

The groups’ goal was to exceed expectation numbers set by the state camping program.  All agent worked on a promotional plan to implement during school club meetings, videos, and Facebook promotions.  Even with the challenges of a normal camping year, lack of the number of campers of the previous year to tell their story to future campers seemed to burden most counties.  However, this group accepted the challenge and decided to throw out the old play book for camp and start fresh.  Wanted to offer new activities and invest in the future of our camping group.  

After long meetings, and several hours of preparation, training and organizing the camping group was able to develop a solid camp program that offered a variety of activities an exciting new event.   Several of the changes/additions can be attributed to the CAMP in-service.  

All these changes and additions allowed for Morgan County to take our highest number of campers since 2004.  With this being said the groundwork for the 2023 Camping program has already begun to ensure growth continues in the Morgan County 4-H Camping program.
