More than 60 youth from all over the state took part in the 4-day Mississippi Farm Bureau Safety camp in Canton that emphasized safety and health.
The campers learned about First Aid and Home Safety, ATV Safety, CPR, Farm and Machinery Safety, Fire Safety and even a course on the dangers of distracted driving.
Each year, the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation holds this Youth Safety Camp for students who will be entering 7th-12th grades. Students must be children or grandchildren of a Mississippi Farm Bureau member.
The camp is designed to teach a broad variety of safety programs. It also offers the opportunity for recreation and fellowship with new friends from all over the state.
