Abstract
Nearly one-half of all babies born today will spend time in a one-parent family because of single parenthood or divorce. To reach this audience, a weekend camp has been conducted since 1989 involving over 75 families every year. 4-H youth development and family and consumer science Extension professionals provide educational opportunities for parents, children, and families. Evaluations indicate an increase in self-esteem, better communication skills, and more quality time spent together. The low-cost camping experience has helped families feel they are a more integral part of society.
