Happy & Healthy at 4-H Camp
Author: Julia Wilson
Planning Unit: Hart County CES
Major Program: Camping
Plan of Work: 4-H Youth Development
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Edmonson County youth and volunteers were excited to return to 4-H Camp after missing the opportunity last year due to camp closures caused by COVID-19. Initial feedback from stakeholders was that we many not have many attend camp due to restrictions such as mask and limited capacity. Despite these restrictions 34 youth, 2 teens leaders, 4 adults, and 2 agents from Edmonson County were able to attend camp. These numbers were on par with attendance in the previous years.
A combination of community donations, Ag. Tag Funds and the county District Board agreeing to help cover part of the programming cost for campers, meant we were able to offer a reduced cost, of only $50, per camper. This benefited many families who are still struggling financially because of COVID.
When asked 100% of the campers said they planned on returning next year. A teen leaders ,who missed out on her last year as a camper in 2020, stated "This was the best year of camp I've ever had"
Agents and volunteers alike were thrilled with success of 4-H Camp for 2021. In spite of the difficulties presented by COVID restrictions we were able to have a very successful camp week.
