Planning Unit: Rowan County CES

Major Program: Camping

Plan of Work: Youth & Adult Leadership Development

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

4-H Camp - Making  memories and creating opportunities for young people to interact with others while learning life skills in a week long camping experience.  This natural world of  innovative and educational ways sets Kentucky 4-H camp apart as an activity dedicated to enforcing positive youth development. It is crucial to introduce young minds to an opportunity such as camp to develop life or soft skills among young audiences and allows 4-H to contribute to shaping the next generation of responsible citizens. With these objectives in mind, Rowan County attends  J. M. Feltner 4-H Camp each summer. This exciting adventure brings 3 other  Eastern Kentucky Counties together with Rowan to explore an amazing week of activities.

With innovative recruitment in the classroom and marketing ideas, the Rowan County Camping Program has grown from 35 participants in 2021 to 91 campers  in 2023, therefore exceeding the recommended number of youth required for the last three years.   During our stay at camp the following findings were established. 

80% of the campers felt comfortable of taking care of their belongings 

95% of our campers enjoyed meeting and making new friends

90% of the campers were positive about the food

100% of the campers enjoyed the size and activities the camp had to offer
