Learning, Growing & Discovering Agriculture!
Montana Farmers Union Day Camps bring the
excitement of agricultural education directly
to communities across Montana! Through
hands-on activities, interactive games,
creative projects, and cooperative learning,
young campers discover where their food
comes from, explore the importance of
agriculture, and build lasting connections.
Designed for busy families and curious
young minds, our community-based day camps
offer an engaging experience without the
need for overnight stays. It's a fun,
welcoming way to learn, grow, and
celebrate Montana agriculture!
Learning Through Experience
What Are Montana Farmers Union Day Camps?
Montana Farmers Union Day Camps bring the spirit of Arrowpeak Camp into local communities across Montana. These community-driven camps are typically led by MFU Ambassadors with support from our education staff, offering young people an opportunity to explore agriculture, build friendships, and discover the power of cooperation.
Designed with families in mind, day camps offer a shorter, more convenient experience without overnight stays or long-distance travel. Camps typically last four to five hours and welcome a variety of age groups.
Hands-On Learning
Agricultural activities, crafts, and interactive learning stations.
Fun & Friendship
Cooperative games, creative projects, and opportunities to connect.
Close to Home
Community-based camps that fit into busy family schedules.
Throughout the day, campers participate in cooperative games, creative projects, and three to six activity stations focused on agriculture. Lunch and snacks are incorporated into the experience, and campers head home with the projects they've created and new things they've learned.
Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, explore, and grow. MFU Day Camps help young Montanans connect with agriculture and discover the important role farms and ranches play in their everyday lives.

Important Registration Information
Advance registration is strongly encouraged. While Montana Farmers Union strives to accommodate every interested camper, some Day Camps may have limited capacity due to available space, safety requirements, and staffing or volunteer resources.
Registering in advance helps our team prepare a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable experience for every camper. Walk-in participation may be limited or unavailable when a camp reaches capacity.
