4-H Camp
Author: Ted Johnson
Planning Unit: Lee County CES
Major Program: 4-H Youth Development Programming
Plan of Work: Local Youth Leadership Development
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Summer time can be an exciting time of the year. However, it can be a very expensive time for parents. With the Lee County Kentucky median family income being $21,185.00 per household, for a family to pay $210.00 per camper to participate in 4-H camp in many cases is not going to be affordable for many families. Taking the economic situation in Lee County into consideration the Lee County District Board and the 4-H council teamed up and decided to send 4-Hers to camp free. This decision resulted in the number of 4-H camp participants going from a consistent 11 or 12 camper per year to 40 campers this year. This increase is around a 325 percent increase.
