Success Story4-H Camp 2021



4-H Camp 2021

Author: Brian Good

Planning Unit: Bell County CES

Major Program: Camping

Plan of Work: Empowering current and future leaders; positive youth development

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Bell County 4-Her’s had the opportunity to attend Camp Feltner 4-H camp for the first time in two years. Due to the global pandemic, the Kentucky 4-H camping season was cancelled. A new year brought many changes at 4-H Camp in 2021.  All camp sites were limited to 50% capacity, new handwashing stations were installed, social distancing was required along with facemasks. The changes also eliminated many of the well received activities at camp, such as Sally dancing. The changes did, however, allow all of the campers to attend every class session offered this year. Classes included archery, riflery, high and low ropes, fishing, arts and crafts and nature. During nature class, the campers were able to compare and contrast different reptiles. In fishing class, the youth had to choose an area to fish and then summarize how they did and what they would have done differently if they fished that same area again. Bell County took 35 youth campers, three teen leaders and six adult leaders. One parent explained that her child, a first time camper, enjoyed camp so much that she made the following statement; “I wish I could go back to camp and stay the entire summer!” 4-H Camp provides many opportunities to youth, which includes; skills that will last them throughout their lives and making lifelong friendships.
