Success StoryGetting Outdoors: Migrant Youth Day Camp



Getting Outdoors: Migrant Youth Day Camp

Author: Mackenzie Pogue

Planning Unit: Muhlenberg County CES

Major Program: Natural Resources

Plan of Work: Competence, Confidence, Connection, Compassion and Character

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The migrant youth day camp was designed to provide a safe and inclusive space for young individuals from diverse backgrounds.  Cultivating a sense of belonging, the camp fostered an atmosphere of respect, empathy, and cultural understanding.  This created an environment where participants felt valued and comfortable expressing themselves while learning about the importance of natural resources.   Participants embarked on outdoor adventures through their visit to a local park.  The day camp incorporated hands-on activities to engage the migrant youth actively.  They participated in practical workshops such as gardening, nature, recreation, cooking and a craft class.  The day camp hosted fifty migrant youth and was led by thirteen youth volunteers.
