Comments by campers: “We are telling everybody we know about your camp!” “We had a great time!”
Comment by parent: “Thank you! Volunteers, presenters and farmers are all top notch!” “Very educational and fun with lots of hands on activities.” “Everything was well organized.”
Comment by Sponsor: “Thanks for all that you do at Farm Camp Minnesota. I want you to know that of all the things I sponsor/donate to/support that Farm Camp Minnesota is by far the easiest check to write. I think it is important to remind my customers that if we don’t do things like you are doing that this occupation and way of life frankly will continue to shrink from the population as people lose sight of its value to society.”
