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 may not have many attend camp due to restrictions such as mask requirements and limited capacity. Despite these restrictions 34 youth, 2 teens leaders, 4 adults, and both agents from Edmonson County attended 4-H 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, 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 and safe camp week.
