(JAMESTOWN, N.D.) – North Dakota Farmers Union announced it will again offer discounts to any youths who register early for Farmers Union Camp before May 15. The organization’s summer camp program gets underway June 9 with 16 separate camps slated throughout the course of the summer. 

The four- and five-day camps annually draw more than 1,000 farm and city kids statewide. Junior camps are open for kids who have completed grades 3-6 and senior camps for kids who have completed grades 7-12. 

“Our cooperative-focused leadership camps are a positive environment where kids can be themselves, and build team and leadership skills,” said NDFU Education Director Miranda Letherman. “We offer everything from theme nights to lake sports, dances, skill-building activities and more. There’s definitely something for everyone and our camps are very affordable.”

Farmers Union also provides free bus transportation to and from camp facilities at Lake Tschida near Elgin and the Jamestown Reservoir. Scholarships for kids needing financial assistance to attend are available.
