Minnesota Farmers Union Kicks Off 2016 Camp Season
Minnesota Ag Connection - 05/04/2016
Minnesota Farmers Union (MFU) kicks off another fun-filled camp season for 2016. As parents begin to prepare their children's schedules, MFU offers affordable and educational camps throughout Minnesota as an option. MFU professional camp counselors
will be traveling around the state teaching campers about cooperative organizations, and collaboration, while most importantly having fun! Each camp is unique, with a different combination of crafts, games, lessons, songs, and skits all in the great outdoors. These
activities are designed to enhance each camper's leadership skills--the building blocks of strong rural communities--in an entertaining and engaging setting outside of the classroom.
"Minnesota Farmers Union camps are a great opportunity for kids to get their hands dirty, learn about farms and rural communities and have some fun this summer," said Doug Peterson, Minnesota Farmers Union president. "The kids will be enjoying
themselves, and the parents will be able to surprise them with an educational option this summer."
MFU day camps throughout the state:
-- June 15, Near Bloomington
-- June 16, In Dawson
-- June 17, Near Lake City
-- July 19, In Little Falls
-- July 20, In Lake Crystal
-- July 21, In Swift County
-- July 22, In Belle Plaine
Day camps are open to children 5-12 years of age and the fees for day camp range from free to $5. For more information or to sign up for a day camp, contact Glen Schmidt, MFU Education Director at glen@mfu.org or 651-288-4066. Day camps are made
possible from the generous donations of CHS Foundation and Minnesota Farmers Union Foundation.
