Author: Ryan Spicer

Planning Unit: Breathitt County CES

Major Program: Camping

Plan of Work: Develop Individuals for Leadership & Volunteer Roles

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

 Character Counts defines a person’s character as “the summation of his or her habits, attitudes and attributes." Good character doesn’t happen automatically.  Character education is very important, and good character qualities can be taught. To educate the youth of Breathitt County in character development the agent for 4-H Youth Development offers various programs throughout the program year, and one such program is yearly attendance to J.M. Feltner 4-H Camp. 4-H Camp provides youth educational opportunities through Collaboration with local, state, and national partners, research-based methods and programming, service-oriented practices, long-term strategic planning, and play. This year the 4-H agent was able to take 31 youth and 9 adults to 4-H camp from Breathitt County. All participants both youth and adults indicated that they enjoyed camp, and looked forward to attending next year. One 9 year old youth stated, “I am so glad that I am old enough to attend camp now and attend other 4-H events. I have learned a lot this week and had a lot of fun, and can’t wait until camp next year.” The 4-H agent plans to continue a strong camp promotion in Breathitt County and plans to take even more youth and adults to 4-H Camp next year.
