Junior Master Gardener Camp offers a fun and educational experience for students entering grades 3-6 (ages 8–11), Campers learn about nature, science, wildlife and plants through hands-on projects, educational discussions and games, on-site field trips, make-and-take-home crafts.
Camp is held on the Agricenter lawn near the Farmers Marker (the “red barn”). We’ll be outside, so weather may be hot, or rainy, or absolutely beautiful. Camp hours are 9 AM to Noon, and volunteers are needed each day from 8:15 to 12:30 to allow time for pre-camp briefing and putting away supplies at the end of the day.
JMG Camp is a community service offered by volunteers from the Memphis Area Master Gardeners, with support from Agricenter International and Shelby County Extension.
Agricenter International, the Shelby County Extension and Memphis Area Master Gardeners unite as a team to host Jr. Master Gardener Plant Camp every June for girls and boys, ages 8-12. Children have the opportunity to learn about nature, while having fun and being introduced to the amazing world of plants! Activities include daily “hands-on” projects, educational discussions and games, “on-site” field trips, make-&-take home projects, and daily theme-related snacks.
The camp is held at Agricenter International June 13-17, 2022. Camp hours are from 9:00 a.m. until Noon. There is a fee to attend. Enrollment is limited to 30 campers.
