The Bluebonnet Master Gardeners, in conjunction with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension team, announce its ninth year of holding Kids’ Kamp in Austin, Colorado, Fayette, and Washington counties.
This Kamp makes learning fun and builds kids’ interest in gardening, nature, and community involvement.
Kids Kamp is filled with engaging, hands-on activities… this year, the kids will work with soil and discover bugs that call it home, experience the power of water using a Stream Flow Trailer, graft, cut, and divide plants (and their roots) to create new plants and create and bring home ornaments, chia peo- ple, and unique art!
Kamp runs for three days (Tuesday-Thursday, except for Fayette County) from 8:30 a.m. to noon on these dates: Washington County – June 2-4 (Washington Co. Expo Sales Facility); Fayette County – June 10-12 Wednesday – Friday (Fayette County AgriLife Building); Colorado County – June 16-18 (Weimar Civic Center); Austin County – June 23-25 (St Peter and Paul Church facility).
Kids can attend any Kamp; there is no residency restriction. The cost is $25 per child (plus processing fee). Kids ranging from 10-13 years of age will be eligible to register, but space is limited.
The Kamp is staffed by volunteer Bluebonnet Master Gardeners and interns.
