Springdale Farm presents new farm camps

Springdale Farm, at 696 Colby Street in Ogden, offers two new recreational programs to be held in August, for children ages four to 13: Advanced Farm Camp, and Springdale Camp for Kids. The differences between the camps are the age divisions and the length of the sessions. However, in each, campers will tour Springdale's newest major attraction, the Riedman Robotic Milking Center, groom barnyard animals, take forest nature hikes and hay wagon rides, explore pond life and hunt for fossils. Tuition pre-registration is required. For registration contact Springdale Farm at 352-5320, or visit www.springdalefarm.org.
