Why do we camp in Tennessee 4-H? Because it is A Powerful Positive Force in Youth Development!

4-H members who attend camp:

• Become more confident and experience increased self esteem
• Develop more social skills
• Grow more independent and show more leadership
• Become more adventurous and willing to try new things
• Give teens an opportunity to increase their leadership skills
• Provide an opportunity for youth to belong
• Give youth opportunities to increase knowledge and skills by learning from caring adults and teens
• Provide fun activities where youth can apply their new knowledge and skills
• Generate confidence in youth by recognizing them for their participation

So this year, let’s get as many of our Tennessee youth to camp as possible. It will be a life changing event!
