2017 Farm Adventure Day Camp Sponsored by Cumberland County 4-H and Penn State Extension

Take an adventure on two working farms to discover how your food gets from the farm to your plate. This two-day camp is filled with hands-on learning for youth to get a close up look at the work and science used every day in agriculture.

Youth ages 8-12 years old, as of June 21, 2017, should register today to attend this year’s camp. The camp is open to all youth – it is not a requirement to be a 4-H member.

Throughout the adventure campers will: tour a working dairy farm and watch cows in the milking parlor; whip up homemade butter; learn how much a cow eats and what they call dinner; listen to a calf’s heartbeat and measure its height; identify what insects are hiding in a farmer’s field; and create power from potatoes.

Registration

The cost is $45.00 per camper for both days, which includes two lunches, snacks, program materials, and a t-shirt.

To register, complete the attached form and return to Penn State Extension – Cumberland County with payment. Checks should be made payable to 4-H Development Fund.

*For credit card payments, please call the Cumberland County 4-H Department.
