Kids can kick off summer at the Dishin’ up the Dirt Summer Day Camp. It is a fun-packed week of gardening, foods, and crafts. This year will feature birds in the garden. Participants will build a birdhouse and birdbath; plant flowers and vegetables in containers to take home; make garden crafts, prepare foods from the garden and have fun!  This Day Camp starts June 19 and runs through the 22nd (Monday-Thursday), 1-5 pm for youth who have completed 2nd to 6th grades, at the 4-H Dorm at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds.

In July, kids that have completed 4th grade and higher can take the Food Preservation Day Camp, Monday, Wednesday & Friday, July 17, 19, 21 from 9 am to noon. They will pickle vegetables and make salsa and jams using a water bath canner. Come learn the basics of canning and leave with three 4-H canning exhibits ready to enter in the Tillamook County Fair.
