Summer is the time where all of the scholastic worries come to an end for the majority of school age youth. To a number of kids, summer represents freedom, fun, and exploration. To a number of parents, it means enrolling their child in a summer program so that the child may experience making new relationships, experience new things, and build skills not yet honed, and this is what Jefferson County 4-H Camp aims to do. This year, Jefferson County 4-H took 322 adults, teen leaders and campers to Lake Cumberland 4-H Camp to experience what it means to learn new skills, make new friends, and also learn what it is to be a leader. Out of the 322 people that attended camp, 135 people were new to camp. The newer adults learned ways in how to interact with young campers, how to manage campers' homesickness, and how to build new bonds within their cabins. For the newer campers, they met new friends, learned skills in fishing, canoeing, archery, riflery, cooking outdoors, and swimming. The returning 187 campers and leaders expanded on their leadership skills, with some of the campers taking on more responsibilities within their cabins. Many of the newer campers and leaders stated that they will be returning to camp next year, and that some some of the newer adults stated that they will be bringing in new adult leaders. For some, 4-H Camp is a week of fun in the sun and learning new skills, but to the ones who looking for a safe place, a place for them to be their authentic selves, and a place from the pressures of the world, then 4-H Camp is definitely the place for them!
