Youth Goat Camp: Market & Dairy
CAMP GOAL:
Camp Goal: This a (full) two-day camp and is intended to provide a hands-on experience, giving participants. The third day is the final showmanship competition.
Each child has an opportunity to work with their project, learning the tools they need to feel confident in the arena. Showmanship is the primary focus of the camp. The youth in attendance will learn other husbandry and selection/score card techniques. Each youth will receive a workbook with a variety of important information.
Campers are divided into age groups. Junior, Intermediate, and Senior. We do adjust for ability and experience.
