Teen campers at the Bank Hall Church of the Nazarene summer camp are getting hands-on experience in hydroponic farming as they build an agricultural station they hope to take into surrounding communities after the camp ends.

The project, being carried out by campers between ages 10 and 15, is part of the six-week programme being held at the church from July 13 to August 21. The camp is being conducted in partnership with the Division of Youth Affairs.

First-time camp director Donna Cadogan said the hydroponics project fits with this year’s theme, “Each One Reach One”, which encourages campers to “be their brother’s keeper”.
