For some, going to Alabama 4-H summer camp is a chance to explore a whole new world. Every year, as the weather heats up, the Alabama 4-H Center becomes a vibrant haven where campers can embark on journeys of discovery, growth, and friendship. This would not be possible without the work of dedicated educators like Amy Carbone.
From the behind-the-scenes actions to being a friendly face at all camp sessions, Amy is all things summer camp. She loves being a part of something that she knows is a unique experience for young people.
“I love summer camp and the enthusiasm it brings to the 4-H Center. It teaches kids to love the outdoors and step out of their comfort zones. Everyone should get to experience the fun and excitement of summer camp at the 4-H Center.” — Amy Carbone
Alabama 4-H offers activities and experiences that young people may not have access to otherwise. Campers are challenged to think creatively and work together, whether they are canoeing on Lay Lake, scaling a rock-climbing wall, or simply enjoying the natural world around them. Something new is added every year. So, whether you are a new attendee or a seasoned pro, there is always a new experience for you at 4-H camp.
Making the yearly trip to Columbiana, Alabama, for camp is an excellent way for young people to enjoy the outdoors and learn something new about themselves. Amy looks forward to witnessing this firsthand and seeing the campers having fun and making new friends each year.
Amy’s work with summer camp is just one of the many ways to discover s’mores and more with 4-H. Whether it is an exciting competitive event or a club related to a child’s interest, an Alabama Extension educator in your area is working to find practical solutions, provide opportunities, and empower people.
