The Bluebonnet Master Gardeners, in conjunction with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension team, are pleased to announce our 6th 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 for gardening through unique experiences, impressing on them the importance and enjoyment of horticulture.
This year, the kids will explore how plants evolve and adapt to survive (including Venus Flytraps), design and build their own terrarium with either a dinosaur or fairy theme, learn about spectacular butterflies and investigate those amazing fleshy plants that can retain water in the most curious of ways...succulents! As always, we’ll have outdoor activity time, nourishing snacks, and lots of fun.
Kamp runs for three days (Tuesday-Thursday) from 8:00 a.m. until 12 noon on these dates: Washington County June 6 - 8 (Washington Co. Expo Sales Facility) Colorado County - June 13 -15 (Weimer Civic Center) Fayette County - June 20 - 22 (Fayette Co. Extension Ag. Building) Austin County - June 27 - 29 (Sens Center) The cost is $30 (plus processing fee) per child. Kids ranging from 10-13 years of age will be eligible to register for these 3-day kamps but space is limited to 15 kampers per county.
So register early! Kamp is staffed by volunteer Bluebonnet Master Gardeners and Interns.
