State Youth Water Camp set July 13 to 17Texas The Texas AgriLife Extension Service's 16th annual Texas State Youth Water Camp is set for July 13 to 17 at the George and Opal Bentley 4-H Center in Monahans. Arlan Gentry, AgriLife Extension agent in Ward County, said the five-day camp's objective is to help make Texas high school youth aware of current water issues and to develop an appreciation of how agriculture, industry, municipalities and home water use impact water quality and quantity. The camp features field trips, tours and hands-on work. It is limited to 15 boys and 15 girls from across the state. Participants must be of high school age, have an interest in water quality and conservation, and be willing to participate as a team member. The camp will be conducted by AgriLife Extension agents and specialists, U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service personnel and other water resource experts. Applications are currently being accepted for the camp. Individual registration of $150 is due by May 30. Prospective campers may check with their local water conservation district for financial assistance.
