The Kentucky 4-H mission statement reads "4-H Youth Development Education creates opportunities and supportive environments for culturally diverse youth and adults to be capable, competent, and caring citizens".

This past July we had 420 campers, JC's, AC's, and staff attend 4-H camp. Twenty instructional classes were offered, covering a wide range of interests (capable). Campers were required, some for the first time, to clean up after themselves.
