What you'll experience during Agbioscience Academy

In addition to the classroom experience, attendees will participate in hands-on projects involving Huntington University’s learning labs that house livestock and crops. Each day, attendees will learn alongside their peers and Huntington University faculty and students. Special guests who are experts in their respective fields will also lead workshops and sessions throughout the week. There are off-campus excursions as well to area ag-related industries and even a morning session at a local ropes challenge course.

This experience is all ag, all the time. The cost to attend the camp is partially offset through a partnership with the Avis Foundation. Each attendee will receive their meals each day along with an academy t-shirt and other take-home items. The camp includes staying in the on-campus residence halls in a single-occupancy room. 

Huntington University's Agbioscience Academy is sponsored by the Avis Foundation and the Dr. Harry Brickley Farm Foundation.
