SANDOVAL COUNTY 4-H CAMP
The Sandoval County 4-H Council hosted a 3 day 4-H Camp at the Valles Caldera National Preserve. Twenty-four (24) 4-H leaders/adults and 52 youth, of which 37% 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 orienteering, wildlife ID/ habitat, shooting sports (archery), sport fishing, impromptu speech, community service, nutrition education (food preservation) and food safety. Observations of positive behavior changes were evident in youth participants. A project leader workshop was offered to the adults. Parents and leaders noted they felt the camp had made a positive impact on the youth. One parent stated, “I didn’t think you could keep this many kids entertained and yet learn something from the workshops.” An adult stated, “The project leader workshop opened my eyes to the opportunities for adults to help the youth.”
