Purpose

The best gift we can give our kids is to empower them with skills that will last for a lifetime. At 4-H camp kids learn critical life skills like resilience and independence. If we want our kids to be able to bounce back from adversity, stress, challenges and failures, teaching them resilience is key. Having experiences outside their comfort zones help young people become more resilient, more independents and better able to plan and reach their long-term goals.
