2025-2026 4-H Adventures Field Trips to Nevada 4-H Camp Alamo
Annual Report
Introduction
During the 2025-2026 school year, the urban Clark County 4-H team reached 1,217 youth from the Clark County School District through 4-H Adventures Field Trips to Nevada 4-H Camp Alamo. Twenty-one schools participated in the field trips. Of the 1,217 youth, 512 also participated in ongoing in-school 4-H programming during the school year. Other Extension professionals also led activities for schools, recreation centers and other groups at Nevada 4-H Camp Alamo; however, those activities are not represented in this report.
During the 4-H Adventures Field Trips, 4-H staff led various hands-on lessons and activities, including animal adaptations, archery, Backyard Bass, geocaching, a scavenger hunt, water quality testing, team-building activities and making s’mores at a campfire. Some schools also participated in fishing activities at the pond led by the Nevada Department of Wildlife. The field trips were designed to expose students to an
outdoor learning environment. Bus transportation for participating schools was funded by a donation from the Electric Daisy Carnival presented to Clark County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick. The following is a list of participating schools and field trip dates.
Results: Program Experience
A total of 147 teachers, school administrators and staff, volunteers and other adult chaperones completed the 4-H Adventures Field Trip survey at the end of their field trips. Nearly 100% of respondents agreed that the field trip provided a place where young people felt they belonged and were accepted, had opportunities to participate in activities that interested them, and felt safe.
Result: Youth Impact
Nearly 100% of respondents agreed that the camp offered opportunities for youth to practice social skills, learn STEM skills and learn about stewardship of resources. Respondents also agreed that youth learned skills necessary for future success and for making healthy choices.
Youth Voice
Some students were asked to draw images of what they learned or liked. This was an open-ended field. The top three most frequent themes were: fishing, s’mores/campfire and friends/teamwork/socializing. Students repeatedly drew fishing poles, fish, a pond and themselves fishing. Students drew campfires, marshmallows and people eating or making s’mores. Students frequently drew themselves with other children or leaders, sometimes holding hands, working together or explicitly referring to friends and teamwork.
