The purpose of this proposal is to describe and explain the intent and ideas behind one of the subsidary programs ,recently initiated by the Jefferson County Juvenile Court. This program is referred to as a camp- ing program; an activity which enables a probatiL,on counselor and several of his probationers to embark on a two or three day trek into the Olympic backcountry. The intent and goals of the program are two-fold. The most important ovJectives are to provide an opportunity for some of the youth who have only failure to their lives to experience a meaningful accomplishment. This type or kind of success the individual may find will vary from building a campfire to preparing a meal for four or five people. The feeling of successfully completing a hike through rough terrain can be termed a success for youngsters who have never been exposed to this kind of activity. F. Clothing and General Emergency Services 1. Clothing will be provided for emergency purposed when needed to benefit the probationers' work and school, etc. 2. Emergency Cash Fund a. When needed, funds for bus fare, haircut, lunch money, etc., will be provided. V. ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS The staff will meet weekly in a regular session for general overall evaluation of programs and probationers' responses to the services. In addition, weekly sessions with Supervisor and Probat~on Counselor will be held for specific cases and program consideration will be planned. VI. CASE TERMINATION FROM THE UNIT A. Staff agreement by all evaluation means will result in a transfer out of the alternative supervision program all probationers who have: 1. Benefited to the maximum. 2. Been able to adjust to service practices. 3. Progressed to the point that removal would not be detrimental and the position could be filled with a more critical case. 4.

Minimum of four years Probation Counselor and case10ad experience. VIII. UNIT PHASING-IN PLAN Jefferson County has participated in a special supervisory program since July 1, 1971.
