4-H Summer Care Programs
Author: Kelly Woods
Planning Unit: Oldham County CES
Major Program: Family and Consumer Science
Plan of Work: Life Skills Development
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Oldham County Public School Summer Care programs are hosted at each elementary school in the county. The summer care directors requested art and life skills programming for their summer curriculum. Oldham County 4-H partnered with three schools offering lessons to over 150 youth focusing on horticulture, weaving, jewelry making, sand art murals, quilling art, acrylic art, and pencil drawings. 4-H Agent and Assistants taught each session.
At the end of the summer, participants were invited to enter their completed projects at the Oldham County Fair. We had over 429 projects entered, and sixty-seven projects advanced to the Kentucky State Fair.
During the Kentucky State Fair, Oldham County members received twenty-eight blue ribbons, ten purple ribbons and three reserve grand champions ribbons. These 4-H families finished the summer so excited about their 4-H accomplishments, which has led to increased involvement in the 4-H Adventure Club and Delicious Delights Cooking Club, with both clubs having over forty members at their first meeting. Oldham County 4-H is starting a second cooking club due to the demand.
