Gardening Kids’ Kamp in June

The Bluebonnet Master Gardeners, in conjunction with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension team, are pleased to announce our 7th year of holding Kids’ Kamp in Austin, Colorado, Fayette, and Washington Counties. This camp is designed to be educational but fun with the goal of igniting a passion in the youth of our area to the importance and enjoyment of gardening through unique experiences.

This year, the kids will (1) experience hands-on plant propagation; (2) be introduced to all knids of herbs, including learning how hers make our food tasty and delightful; (3) plant and take home their own herb garden, and (4) learn about some common garden visitors…purple martins, moles, gophers, armadillos, and snakes! As always, we’ll have outdoor activity time, nourishing snacks, and lots of fun.

Camp runs for 3 days (Tuesday-Thursday) from 8 a.m. to 12 noon on these dates:

• Washington County, June 4-6 (Washington Co. Expo Sales Facility)

• Colorado County, June 11-13 (Weimer Civic Center)

• Fayette County, June 1820 (Fayette Co. Extension Ag. Building)

• Austin County, June 25 -27 (Immaculate Conception Catholic Church Parish Hall) The cost is $35 (plus processing fee) per child. Kids ranging from 10-13 years of age will be eligible to register for these three-day camps but space is limited, so register early! Kids Kamp is staffed by experienced educators, volunteer Bluebonnet Master Gardeners and Interns. Registration forms can be completed online at https://txmg.org/ bluebonnet/kidskamp/.
