4-H Camp Training
Author: Blake Newton
Planning Unit: Entomology
Major Program: Natural Resources
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
In Fall 2024, I trained three new staff educators at the North Central 4-H Camp on the subject of entomology. I trained them on insect identification and aquatic invertebrate studies. These staff members work with 4-Hers who attend Environmental Camps and other programs at North Central, and from July 2024-June 2025, over 800 4-Hers received entomology content from these staff educators.
