Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Kentucky 4-H mission statement reads "4-H YD Education creates opportunities and supportive environments for culturally diverse youth and adults to be capable, competent, and caring citizens". The Boone County 4-H Program feels that one of the best ways to achieve this mission is with a strong residential camping program. This past July we had 420 campers, JC’s, AC’s, and staff attend camp. 20 instructional classes were offered, covering a wide range of interests (capable). Campers were required, some for the first time, to clean up after themselves. They were responsible for all cleaning activities in the cabins, dining hall, bath houses, and around the grounds (competent). During their week at camp, campers are mixed and encouraged to make new friends. By the end of the week, everyone was supportive of each other and acting like they have been friends for years (caring citizens). We are also able to use 4-H Camp to promote other 4-H programs in the county.
