Success Story4-H Camp



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.
