OBJECTIVES OF 4-H CAMPING

Parents show their belief in the value of 4-H camping by sending thousands of young people to Ohio 4-H camps each year. The supportive environment at Ohio 4-H camps provides kids with opportunities to learn how to live, work and play through hands-on activities in the natural world.

By participating in Ohio 4-H Camps, campers will:

  • build self-esteem and self-efficacy;
  • connect with meaningful role models in a safe and inclusive environment;
  • demonstrate problem-solving ability and establish standards and values that guide decision-making;
  • enhance independent living skills;
  • develop positive relationships with other young people from different backgrounds;
  • cultivate teamwork and leadership capacity;
  • explore activities for wise use of leisure time;
  • gain a better understanding and appreciation of the world around them through programs focused on outdoor learning; creative expression; science, technology, engineering and math; and leadership and citizenship
