Life isn’t easy on the farm. It isn’t always safe,
either. The Georgia
Healthy Farmers Program will offer two camps this summer for children who
live or work on farms.
The Farm Safety Camp is for children ages 10-13.
It’s set for June 13-15 at Abraham
Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton. The camp offers classes in animal,
equipment and personal safety.
The Tractor Certification Camp is a 15-hour course
that meets Department of Education and
Department of Labor guidelines. Also
at ABAC, this camp will be June 27-29. It’s for ages 14-15.
The cost is $45 for each. To learn more about
the camps or about scholarships to them, call Nancy Fussell at 1-800-367-9083.
The fax number is (912) 383-0394.
