How Will Your Shopping Trip Support Camp Korey?

Funds from 4% Friday will be used to create a compost and garden program to empower campers to be good earth stewards through food waste awareness, sustainability, and gardening.

Campers will learn how to determine what food waste can be composted, deposit food waste and create compost in a tumbler, distribute compost as fertilizer in the camp garden, and harvest fresh vegetables for camp meals. Expenses include program staff, 4 food waste bins, starter compost, plant identification signage, and plant starters.
