For the 5th year in a row, the Harrison County 4-H Summer Camp program has seen a new record for participants.  After changing camp groups from five counties to three, volunteer leards and the 4-H Council set a goal of working to increase camp involvement over the previous years record of 191.  Additional marketing efforts were utilized to help show the importance of 4-H Summer Camp to prospective youth.  4-H Camp enables participants to build lifeskills such as responsibility, teamwork, communication, decision-making, and respect.  Teens visited 21 classrooms to help lead activities and answer questions about summer camp.  In addition, the program utilized three promotional videos, local radio shows, and the newspaper to complement recruiting and marketing efforts.  The goal was set at 218 participants for 2018.  Harrison County is pleased to report a new record attendance of 233 campers, counselors, and adults for the 2018 program year!  The growth of the program is a direct correlation to the addition of 4-H Environmental Education Camp for every 4th or 5th grade student in Harrison County, as well as an expansive and in-depth Cloverbud Club.  The new goal for 2019 will be to reach 240 summer camp participants!
