- Summary:
-
Investigating the nature, scope, and significance of 4-H Club camping experiences and the development of extension education in 17 Southeast Missouri counties, an evaluative analysis was made of data derived from questionnaires directed to: 1967 4-H campers (N=231); camper parents (N=36); 4-H non-campers and their parents (N=29); randomly selected campers and non-campers (N=10 each); and extension agents (N=12). Correlating published technical data with that from the five questionnaires, the following were addressed: reasons for 4-H camping; activities preferred to camping; program activities considered important by campers and non-campers; camping costs and decreases in camping membership; reasons for decreases in camp membership and adult camping enthusiasm; youth agents and the need for technical training re: camping; extension personnel ratings re: camping as a teaching method, a recreation activity, and a 4-H promotion technique. Results indicated: camping members, their parents, and extension agents think camping is a valuable educational experience; agents see camping as a method of teaching social group behavior, individual development, and outdoor subject matter; parents and agents rate camping high as a recreational activity; important needs include expanding adult and member involvement in program development, developing recruitment/promotion methods, studying business management of camp facilities, and educating agents about the technical nature of camping.
