2012 Kentucky Military Extension Adventure Camp

This project addresses national Military-Extension Adventure Camp theme of "outdoor adventure for family reconnection" by bringing military parents and their teenage children together for fun and engaging experiential learning opportunities that advance the life skills of self-responsibility, decision making, resiliency, cooperation, responsible citizenship, and problem solving. The active deployment and post-deployment stages can be times of great joy, pride, and family cohesiveness, but they can also be times of great stress and disorganization. The scope of this project is to provide a route for military parents and their teenage children to connect and work otgether as a team during the deploymnet of the other parent or to reconnect after an extended absence due to deployment.
