Franklin County's Environmental Education Impact

This past fall and spring, over 600 students from Franklin County had the enriching experience of attending environmental camps. These camps were conducted in partnership with the JM Feltner Memorial 4-H Camp in London, Kentucky, offering a unique and immersive learning environment.

At these camps, students participated in various hands-on activities designed to deepen their understanding of environmental science and natural resource management. Activities included nature hikes, water quality testing, wildlife observation, and sustainable agriculture practices. These experiences not only enhanced their knowledge of the natural world but also fostered a sense of responsibility towards environmental stewardship.

The partnership with JM Feltner Memorial 4-H Camp provided students with access to a range of expert-led workshops and state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring a high-quality educational experience. Feedback from participants and educators alike highlighted the camp's effectiveness in making complex environmental concepts accessible and engaging for young learners.

The success of these environmental camps underscores the importance of experiential learning in fostering a lifelong appreciation and commitment to the environment among youth in Franklin County. Franklin County Summer Camp number were the most since 2006
