Conservation Day Camp

Shelby County Farm Bureau and the Shelby Soil and Water Conservation District are seeking energetic and excited teens who have completed 7th grade through the 12th grade to be counselors at our upcoming Conservation Day Camp! 

Serving as a Conservation Day Camp counselor is a great opportunity to develop leadership, responsibility, and people skills. For some, this is a great way to build your leadership portfolio for future goals such as 4-H Camp counselor, Junior Fair Board member, and college and scholarship applications.

This year’s Conservation Day Camp will be held June 27-29 from 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m. each day at the Shelby County Fish & Game Club, 9120 Sidney-Freyburg Road in Sidney.

As directors of Conservation Day Camp, we look for individuals who like working with children, are good role models, and have a positive and willing attitude.

Counselor responsibilities:
  • Guide a group of 20-25 young people from station to station. Monitor their behavior and keep them motivated and engaged in presentations.
  • Assist presenters with minor tasks of your group and camp, including aiding campers with keeping their belongings together, and clean-up.
  • Keep your group entertained if there is a delay in the planned activities. Games and songs would be appropriate and during training, you will be provided with resources to help you with those tasks.

**Note… as a counselor-in-training, you will assist the counselors and camp directors with the above responsibilities.

We hope you will join us for this great camp! Below is a pdf application for camp. The deadline to return to the SWCD office or the Farm Bureau at [email protected] is April 14.

To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.

Giving farmers a voice
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.

Select Partner Program
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

Advocacy
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
