Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The problem:
Last year, we did not have any teen counselors for 4-H camp and the cost was a barrier for youth in our county to attend.
The educational program response:
This year, I contacted all campers who attended 4-H camp last year that were the right age to be teen counselors and provided the opportunity for them to sign up for camp early. I also promoted being a teen counselor to my 4-Hers in my teen leadership group and other 4-H clubs. I also worked on fundraising to be able to lower the cost of 4-H camp for teens and campers.
The participants/target audience
Teens in the community/4-Hers ages 15-17
Other partners (if applicable):
Because of generous community donations and 2 fundraisers we did through our office, we were able to lower the cost for teen to go to camp to just $30! This was a great help and made 4-H camp more accessible to attend for my teens.
Program impact or participant response.
Through promotion in my 4-H programs, my teen leaders that participated in 4-H Teen Leadership Academy, and being able to lower the cost of camp, I have 7 teen counselors this year! 5 of the 7 attended camp either last year or in previous years. This is a huge jump from last year and I believe this will help me to continue to build up the amount of kids attending 4-H camp each year. We have more 4-Hers signed up for 4-H camp than we did last year which is very exciting.
