The purpose of the Lamb Camp is to help kids sharpen their knowledge and showmanship skills. The camp is limited to 18 youth. The cost is $50 per person. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

The instructor is Scott Myers, a well-known 4-H and open class judge. Mr. Myers will be assisted by a few young adults who have demonstrated their skills at county and state fairs.

Participants will need to bring 1 or 2 sheared lambs, along with shearing equipment and a fitting stand. If someone needs to borrow a lamb, one will be provided.
