2019 Youth Farm Safety Day Camp

Tuesday, July 23, 2019 – 9:00am-3:30pm – Licking Valley High School

There are many dangerous situations that can be encountered by kids on farms.  Accidents on farms can be life changing for families.  Many times these accidents could have been prevented.  The Licking Valley FFA and OSU Extension are working together to provide a Farm Safety Day Camp.  Our goal is to make the attendees aware of some of these situations and how they can react safely.  This is not just for kids that are raised on farms.  Anyone that has children that visit friends or family that have even the smallest farm should send their kids.  We are able to provide this camp, a t-shirt and lunch for $10 per participant thanks to support from the Licking County Farm Bureau and the Professional Agrarians of Licking County.  Please click here for registration information.
