Tuesday kicked off the three-day Conservation Day Camp, which is held at the Shelby County Fish & Game Club. The theme for the week is “Minecraft exploring conservation.” On Tuesday, the participants learned about archery, composting (using ice cream, Oreo crumbs and gummy worms), watercraft safet, played giant Jenga to learn about the different types of resources (renewable resources, green energy and nonrenewable resources) and made tie-dye shirts. Wednesday’s programs include advanced archer, paint and sip, leadership craft, you are what you eat and corn and more. Thursday’s activities include fishing, plants, from field to table and trail exploration. Sam Norman, Ohio Beef ambassador, will also give a presentation. The camp is sponsored by Shelby Soil & Water Conservation District and the Shelby County Farm Bureau.
