Senior Camp
Description
Our oldest campers enjoy six days of cooperation at Senior camp. Offered to campers ages 14-18, programing at Senior Camp is structured to provide a mix of learning and exposure to current events in agriculture and civics, as well as time for youth leaders to explore leadership opportunities and relationship building. Seniors will still get time to relax and reset with games, swimming, and crafts while dining on made-from-scratch foods with local ingredients from our wonderful kitchen team!

Youth Advisory Committee Opportunity at Senior Camp:
Campers going into their Junior or Senior year of high school get the chance to run for our Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) to serve as peer leaders and assist the administration in activities, lessons, and new curriculum and practices at camp. This is a prestigious honor within the Farmers Union education program. YAC members are expected not only to be exemplary peer leaders while at camp but must also attend several council meetings throughout the year to discuss camp related programing and policy as well as a day of staff training prior to their camp session.

Torchbearer Award Opportunity after Senior Camp:
The Torchbearer Award is given to exceptional graduates of our leadership camps each year and is the highest honor available to participants in our youth education programs. Since 1941, Torchbearers have been honored at Minnesota Farmers Union annual State Convention. Becoming a torchbearer marks the conclusion of a young adult’s work in the Farmers Union youth programing and the beginning of their adult leadership role in Farmers Union.
To become a Torchbearer a young person must complete 4 years of Senior camp and represent Minnesota at the National Farmers Union All-States convention. At All-States campers may run for the National Youth Advisory Committee (NYAC). Please contact our Director of Education and Camp for more information on attending all states and becoming a Torchbearer.
