Summer isn’t summer without 4-H Camp: The Sequel. True in 2017 for Montgomery County campers, repeated and surpassed in 2018.  Camp enrollment reached another all-time high of 119, an increase of 14% over 2017. Spaces were filled for both sides of camp (boys and girls) within two days of the registration window opening March 1st. And once again, those numbers tell the impact that camp provides through its structured, extracurricular activities where youth are engaged with friends and have adult emotional support due to the time and care-commitment of volunteer adults who serve as mentors at camp. It makes a difference to the campers. According to the American Camping Association, as these positive relationships predict happiness, the camp environment provides an ideal setting to improve happiness due to the focus on building positive relationships. Children at summer camp have ample, daily opportunities to connect with other people and therefore, are "happy campers." In turn, happy campers make it their goal to return to camp because of the positive, supportive and fun environment.
