North Dakota Farmers Union is breaking ground this fall on a new youth camp facility on 19 acres of land at the Jamestown Reservoir.
North Dakota Farmers Union President Mark Watne says the organization currently owns a youth camp in western North Dakota on the Heart Butte Reservoir near Glen Ullin, but the facility is unable to accommodate all of the youth who sign up for camp. In a normal year, more than 1,200 kids attend Farmers Union Camp from June to August. Kids in grades third through senior in high school attend three- and four-day camps, where they play games, sports, have campfires and learn how cooperatives operate and function.
The camp could potentially be operational by next summer.
