4-H Camp Turns Agricultural Science into Hands-on Fun

 The camp starts at Strock’s Farm in Mechanicsburg where campers harvest and thresh wheat, make ice cream, test soil, and discover seeds. The second day begins at Monroe Elementary School in Boiling Springs, where campers make loaves of bread, explore honeybees, and turn berries into jam.  Campers also visit Brymesser’s Dairy Farm and Stover’s Dairy Farm to learn about cows and milk products, make butter, and watch a modern milking operation. 

Registration is limited to 48 campers between 8-10 years old.  The registration fee is $50 and includes meals, snacks, program materials, and take-home items.  Contact the 4-H Department at 717-240-6500 or visit http://extension.psu.edu/cumberland  for more information or to register.

This camp is a program of Penn State Cooperative Extension in Cumberland County and Cumberland County 4-H, a non-profit organization developing valuable life skills in our youth.  Penn State is committed to affirmative action, equal opportunity, and the diversity of its workforce.
