About the Program: 

Myself and four other college students from The University of Kansas are stablishing a kitchen garden at Wildwood Outdoor Education Camp. Our garden will be a classroom to teach the campers about self-sustaining gardening and better eating habits. Our goals are to provide an outdoor garden classroom to instill gardening principles in kids at a young age. We are currently in the beginning stages of our project. We intend to have our garden constructed and planted by the end of March. After this step we will create a program to teach the counselors and campers about gardening techniques.
