North Dakota State University Extension will host farm safety camps for youth ages 13-16 this summer in Williston, Bismarck and Fargo.
The camps will be held at Williston State College May 23-25; NDSU in Fargo May 30-June 1; and Bismarck State College June 26-28.
The camps, which each can accommodate 16 youth, are being held in the west, east and central part of the state. They build on the regional camps that in 2022 were held in Fargo and Washburn. Register online to be a part of one of the camps.
NDSU Extension hopes to reach more youth through the regional camps than individual tractor safety camps that counties have held in the past, said Angie Johnson, NDSU Extension farm and ranch safety coordinator. Sometimes those camps had to be canceled because not enough youth signed up for them.
“By trying it this way, we’re getting kids together from all across the state,” she said. The camps are open to all youth and being a 4-H member is not required.
