First come, first served.

For the first year ever,
middle school students in 5th-8th grade
have the opportunity to participate in a
FREE SUMMER CAMP
led by Teens Grow Greens interns!
This fun, hands-on, 4-day experience will:
-
teach participants about where our food typically comes from and how locally grown food is different (fresher, healthier, and tastier!) through gardening and cooking!
-
immerse participants in activities, games, and discussions that develop their unique voices, talents, and abilities to become food justice activists in their own communities!
Did we say it was FREE?
