Outcome: Initial Outcome
2 Sessions of the Rabbit Day Camp were held. One in the spring and one in the fall, due to the level of interest recieved. With two sessions, the leader was able to reach the cap for the class at 22 youth participants. Additionally, 2 youth helpers, 2 parents, and an adult volunteer leader were present to make these sessions successful. These events included SNAP Ed/MyPlate snacks, introduction to art, cooking, natural resources, and agriculture.
The short-term outcome is that all participants indicated that they learned something new about taking care of animals, felt a sense of belonging in the group, and helped another member throughout the duration of the day camp.
