Thanks to a special partnership between the Department of Defense’s Office of Military Community & Family Policy, the Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food & Agriculture, and the nation’s Cooperative Extension Service, military youth ages 14–18 can experience these adventure camp opportunities this summer in many states. If you've not been there yet, visit http://go.osu.edu/MilitaryTeenAdventureCamps to find out more about all these opportunities.
Ohio State University Extension is pleased to join the partnership and offers these 3 camps this sumer:
Each camp is available to any military youth on a first-come, first-served basis--all branches, components, and status of the military (military contractors are not eligible). The camps are the perfect chance for you to experience the outdoors as you never have before! Each camp offers a unique outdoor camping experience that will allow you to build your leadership, self-confidence, and teamwork skills while participating in activities such as canoeing and archery. You will make friends and share experiences with other military youth just like yourself. A camp for youth with special needs (mental, physical, and emotional) is also being offered.
Click the dates of camp in the list above to learn more about it. Thanks to this special funding, there is just a small $25 registration fee for each camp to reserve your place.
Worried about transportation costs?
Funding is available to help with transportation costs to get you to and from camp. Participants will be responsible for traveling to and from camp, but will be reimbursed for their eligible travel-related expenses up to $350, depending on mode of transportation and distance traveled.
