Forestry Day Camp
Hosting a Forestry Day Camp is an excellent way to offer an introduction to Forestry Field Day and recruit 4-H'ers to be a part of your Forestry Team. It gives potential team members a chance to experience Forestry Judging without committing to be a member of the team while serving as a great refresher course for last year's team members. Day camps can be done as whole or a half day event to introduce the basic concepts of Forestry Field Day. You may download an example activity guide and student workbook that can be used for your day camp.
