  • Children of active Licking County Farm Bureau members have the option to receive an additional $50 discount per child, bringing their camp fee down to $145.

Session Selection:

  • You will need to complete the session selection survey for each youth attending summer camp.
  • Please review the session list HERE. We suggest you have your child make selections of which sessions they wish to attend before you start the session selection process. All sessions have a limit as to how many can attend, so please have multiple options selected for each session slot in case your child’s first preference is already full when you complete this step.
  • Some sessions have an additional fee. Once you complete the session selection, you will be automatically redirected to the Nelnet site to pay for any session fees. All session fees will be paid in advanced; no session fees will be collected during check-in at camp.
