Two Claiborne Parish 4-H members, Sawyer Wilson and Kenlyn Babcock, recently attended LOST Camp (Louisiana Outdoor, Science, and Technology Camp), held at Camp Grant Walker in Pollock, Louisiana. The camp provided an opportunity for youth across the state to explore new skills, develop leadership, and make lifelong friendships.

During their time at camp, Sawyer and Kenlyn participated in hands-on sessions in Artificial Intelligence, Wetlands, Food & Fitness, and Outdoor Skills. These educational tracks allowed them to dive into real-world topics while gaining knowledge in both science and everyday life.

In addition to the learning experiences, the camp emphasized personal growth and character building. Claiborne Parish’s own Kenlyn Babcock was honored with the Fairness Award, a special recognition given to campers who demonstrate outstanding character, integrity, and respect toward others throughout the week.  Both youth represented their parish with pride and returned home with new knowledge,
friendships, and leadership skills. Their accomplishments highlight the importance of 4- H in providing educational and character-building opportunities for young people in our community.
