Monday-Friday, Aug. 7-11, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.—Woodstock—Farm Discovery Camp is a hands-on program for young people, ages 11-14. At Farm Discovery Camp, campers will meet local professionals and farmers who are leaders in their fields — the Billings Dairy Farm manager, local beekeepers, and a large-animal veterinarian. Activities will include the opportunity to work alongside the Billings’ farmers to learn the ins and outs of dairy production. Take part in a local service project — at Billings Farm or in the Woodstock community and make a lasting difference. Activities will teach awareness of the many ways food systems and ecosystems are interconnected.
