Operation: Military Kids

The New London County 4-H Camp received an opportunity to support a very worthy cause - children of service people who are serving abroad. The Camp will be exclusively available to these special children during our 4th session.

“Operation: Military Kids is the U.S. Army's collaborative effort with America's communities to support children and youth impacted by deployment. Regardless of whether Families are experiencing deployment for the first time, the second time or another in a series of multiple deployments, OMK’s goal is to connect military children and youth with local resources in order to achieve a sense of community support and enhance their well-being.” – OMK website

Teen Leadership Program*
Teens age 14 to 17 by June 1, 2012 or entering the 9th grade in Sept. 2012
Weekly: Dates TBD
FEE Level 1: same as General Camp

 *The New London County 4-H Camp Teen Leadership (TL) Program is an outdoor, experiential learning program for teens who are 14 years or older, or are entering 9th grade in the fall (13 years old with a "late" birthday). The Teen Leader Program is divided into two levels, TL1s and TL2s. Both levels work with the TL Director(s) developing general leadership skills including, but not limited to, problem solving, creativity, teamwork and citizenship. The program is centered around a low Ropes Challenge Course, but also includes individual team building games and workshops in positive peer praise. Both TL1s and TL2s have responsibilities around camp which include working with younger campers. TL2s have the opportunity to work and live directly with younger campers while TL1s live in their own cabins. In sum, the TL program is one in which teens learn valuable leadership skills that they use, not only at camp, but in their schools, homes and communities.

Selected individuals may be invited back on a week-to-week basis at the discretion of the camp director.
