Plan of Work: 4-H Natural Resources
Outcome: Initial Outcome
With the cancellation of in-person 4-H Camp in the summer of 2020, the LaRue County Extension Office partnered with local 4-H Camp Scholarship donors to provide 4-H Camp Activity Grab and Go Bags to youth who had planned to participate in 4-H Summer Camp. Over 120 bags were distributed in July, during the week the group would have attended 4-H Summer Camp. The bags included a variety of activities from a keychain 4-H craft kit to smores snacks, focusing on topics from health to natural resources. Youth were provided with activities they could do at home. There was a virtual opportunity to meet through Zoom for sharing favorite 4-H Camp songs. There was also a meeting time where youth could join on Zoom to make the craft along with an instructor. 4-H Camp alumni were encouraged to share their favorite camp memories on social media with a chance to win prizes. Each day had a different topic such as: favorite camp food, favorite camp song, and favorite camp class. The LaRue County 4-H Facebook page was used for promotion of the activities for the virtual camp week. Posts during that week reached over 5,000 and had 538 engagements.
