Because of the greater number of parents in the work force, there are fewer available volunteers for youth programs. Forming partnerships with other agencies is necessary for continued programming. Ada County 4-H reaches new youth audiences through a summer program in Boise city parks. The extended day camp program offers supervised activities five days a week at various city parks throughout Boise.
Parents arrange for their children to attend on a weekly basis.
The University of Idaho Cooperative Extension Ada County 4-H Program, in collaboration with the Parks Department, developed a special program in 1995. 4-H provided a variety of workshops and fun. Team building with 4-H Olympics. Foods and nutrition. Plants and soils.
