Life isn’t always safe on the farm. Children who live or work
there face unique safety risks. To help them avoid getting hurt,
the Georgia Healthy Farmers Program will offer two
camps this summer.

The Tractor Certification Camp is a 15-hour course that meets
Georgia Department of Labor guidelines. For ages 14 to 15, it’s
set for June 10-13 at the State FFA/FHA
Camp in Covington, Ga.

The Farm Safety Camp is for children 10 to 13 years old. Also at
the FFA/FHA camp, it’s scheduled for June 17-20. The camp offers
classes in animal, equipment and personal safety, including
introductory CPR.

The cost is $60 for each, or $75 after June 1. Some scholarships
are available. To learn more about the camps or scholarships, or
to get an application, call Nancy Fussell at 1-800-367-9083. Or
