Farmers Union hosted a day camp in Wessington Springs on August 1 with 25 youth in attendance.
Youth spent the afternoon focused on learning about the history of cooperatives through games and interactive lessons. Time was spent playing games, making crafts and learning about different types of digestive systems. Campers were able to follow along and color each part of ruminant and monogastric stomachs with crayons sponsored by the South Dakota Soybean Association. Campers were all given a canvas with either a cow, pig or chicken that they were able to decorate using glue and sand as this year’s craft.
All campers received a t-shirt. Special thanks to CHS and Farmers Union for supplying t-shirts and funding. Event organizers especially thank all the campers who came out to join them.

South Dakota Farmers Union provides youth camps for kids of all ages. The camps provide an atmosphere of recreation, adventure and fun while youth learn about Farmers Union, cooperatives, leadership and social interaction.
All levels of camp activity have seen substantial growth and the organization looks for even more participation in the years to come. Everyone is welcome and invited to participate.
