Impact Report COUNTY CAMP The Sandoval County 4-H Council hosted a 3 day 4-H Camp at the Sandoval County Fairgrounds. Thirteen 4-H leaders/adults and 49 youth, of which 41% were Native American, participated in hands-on workshops and activities designed to increase life skills related to decision making, teamwork, cooperation and self-esteem. Senior 4-H members served as counselors completing their leadership training and experience. 90% of youth participants reported an increase in mastery related to entomology, horticulture, shooting sports (archery), livestock evaluation and showmanship, nutrition education and food safety. Observations of positive behavior changes were evident in youth participants. Parents and leaders noted they felt the camp had made a positive impact on the youth. Participants and adults requested that the camp be extended to 5 days. One parent stated, “Joining 4-H was the best thing that has happened for my 3 kids.”
