4-H Camp for EVERYONE

Author: Molly Jordan

Planning Unit: Bracken County CES

Major Program: Camping

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

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Spending a week at 4-H camp is one that many kids dream of getting to experience. In 2023, the opportunity was given to a very special young man to attend 4-H camp with Bracken County. Tyler is very active member of Bracken County 4-H! There isn’t a club or activity he doesn’t try or get involved in. Tyler was born with Downs Syndrome but that never stops him at trying something new or giving his best at it! Tyler’s parents approached me inquiring about camp because all of his siblings attended leaving him at home. Through working with them and providing a one on one counselor throughout the week Tyler’s dream of attending 4-H Camp became a reality. His mom said it best when she said to me “ Thank you for taking him. He may look a little different or act a little different than other kids but that never stops him from succeeding. She said I hope that this opened the eyes of many showing them there is really no such thing as a disability if we are willing to enable them.
