Environmental Camp has been a growing program in our county for a few years. The program began with one school then grew to two schools now all three elementary schools participate.  In 2019 we had over 240 youth attend the overnight experience.  

4-H Agent and teachers work closely together to align the camp program/classes with their Core Content. The overnight experience provided additional hands on opportunities and leadership skills.
Collaboration with Anderson County Extension Agents, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife, NRCS, University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service, and North Central 4-H Camp we were able to provide hands on learning in water quality, soil/erosion, mammals, bird study, heritage cooking, fishing, Kentucky History and to develop life-enduring skills such as teamwork, and responsibility.
 Teachers and school administrators have observed growth in leadership skills and science scores on the KPREP test and 4-H has seen growth in their summer camp program as well.
