Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

The Kentucky Military Teen Adventure Camp Grant was able to host another year of summer camp for Service Member Parents and Teens in spite of having to reschedule to 2021 because of Covid-19. Kerri Ashurst and Tyrone Atkinson served as the PI's for the grant and were able to conduct 2 camps (in June 2021) at the Red River Gorge for 63 participants from various states.  Families were so appreciative of the camp and they were excited to have the experience together.  

"Thank you for leading this outstanding program. We truly appreciate your efforts and support!" Parent participant

There will be one last summer camp in July 2021 and the goal has and will continue to be finding resources to support military families through Extension that help create lasting memories and provide opportunities for posivite nature experiences.
