South Dakota Farmers Union camps give youth leadership and agriculture experience
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – South Dakota teens are heading to the Black Hills this summer to build leadership skills, explore careers in agriculture, and gain hands-on experience in cooperative business through the South Dakota Farmers Union Senior Leadership State Camp.
South Dakota Farmers Union helps keep its camps affordable for farm, ranch, and rural families by subsidizing costs and providing transportation for campers.
The organization offers several camp opportunities this summer:
- State Senior Camp (Grades 7-12): June 7-12 at Storm Mountain in the Black Hills
- State Junior Camp (Ages 9-12): July 19-22 at Camp Byron near Huron
- Day Camps (Ages 6-12): Held at locations across South Dakota
Youth leaders also play an active role in helping plan camp activities.
