ABOUT THE CHILDREN'S PROGRAM:

The OGS Children’s Program seeks to convey the importance of agriculture and the environment by guiding kids through numerous, hands-on activities that involve plants, animals, insects, and food. This supervised, full-day event is open to children ages 7-12 years old, with a registration limit of 30 children. Cost is $30.

Please note: We cannot accept a child's registration without an accompanying adult registration.

The Children’s Program will be based out of the Bullington Greenhouse throughout the day.

Lost Somebody? Kids who have lost their parents or parents who have lost their kids should report to the OGS Headquarters in the Killian Building where we can help you reconnect.

Special thanks to Children’s Program Coordinator Jenifer Miller and all Children’s Program volunteers!
