4-H Camp 2023

Author: Paula Jerrell

Planning Unit: Ballard County CES

Major Program: Camping

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Records were broken, fun was had and everyone learned something new! Yes, Ballard County took 66 camper to camp this year.  That's a new record (previous was 59 in 2012). We also had 15 wonderful counselors that made our kids a priority. One of our teams won the spirit stick and another was 2nd in Mega Relay.  All brag worthy accomplishments! 100% of our youth reported learning something new. They all had a favorite class and several reported that they learned they could be themselves at 4-H Camp. Our counselors taught or helped with classes, took care of replenishing water on the grounds and pitched in to help with dish washing as camp was short staffed in the kitchen.  Whatever the need our counselors and well as our whole camp group of counselors pitched in to help. We look forward to another great year next year!

We had generous support from businesses and organizations for 4-H Camp Scholarships as well. We were able to send 14 youth on full scholarship.
