As our summer camps come to an end today, we're looking back at one of the many new skills our campers learned! β˜€οΈπŸ„

Our Erwinville campers rolled up their sleeves and got hands-on with farm life by learning how to milk a goat, meeting friendly cows and goats, and even making their own homemade butter! Thank you Erin Tassin for sharing your farm animals with us for the afternoon.

Parents, if you ever run out of butter, you might just have a butter-making expert at home!

What a fantastic way to wrap up another unforgettable summer of learning, laughter, and new experiences!

πŸ“Έ Scroll through to see more highlights from this year's camps in Addis, Port Allen, and Erwinville. For even more photos and videos, be sure to visit the West Baton Rouge Parks & Recreation page!
