c k.rm St <br />Lomax Center for Agricultural Education <br />Development Plan 2016 - 2026 <br />4H and other Kidz Campz <br />In the summer of 2016 4H will offer young people the opportunity to explore the basics <br />of gardening, unique gardening techniques, local foods and environmental effects of <br />landscaping and responsible use of land for gardening. They will learn to care for <br />themselves and other living things through farm -based educational programs at Lomax <br />Farm. <br />Together with Cooperative Extensions agents, young people will taste fresh vegetables <br />straight from the farm, tend and harvest crops, collect seeds, make compost, learn about <br />worms, insects and pollinators and explore our natural environment in hands -on <br />science based learning. <br />Serving an opportunity to test the capacity to host such camps, Lomax Farm hopes to <br />offer additional kidz campz in coordination with 4H and potentially other organizations. <br />• Young people learning about where food comes from <br />• Knowledge about natural <br />systemsOpportunities to weed, water <br />and harvest vegetables <br />• Kids caring for plants and meeting <br />farmers -in- training <br />12 <br />G -6 Page 184 <br />
