Summer Day Camp: Kids Can Learn About Produce Farm To Table

June 20, 2010

Escambia Extension is hosting a summer day camp program on Thursday, July 15th. Campers, ages 8 to 12, will start the day with a visit to a local vegetable or fruit producer to see how edible plants are cultivated, harvested, packed, and prepared for sale.

Campers will also visit a grocery store, meet the produce manager, and learn about the variety of fruits and vegetables sold in the store. Finally, the campers will return to the Langley Bell 4-H Center for some educational activities and will end with a take-home craft.

The cost of the camp is $8. Pre-registration is required by July 9th. For more information, call the Escambia Extension Office at 475-5230.
