Babysitting, Kids & Youth Programs

The Future Farmers program is offered Thursday, Friday and Saturday on the same schedule as the adult programs. It is designed to educate and entertain your children while you attend the conference. More detailed information will be sent with your registration confirmation. Space is limited, so register your kids early.

On Thursday, February 4, lunch will be provided for children in the Kids and Youth programs. Parents are responsible for providing meals to children in the Babysitting program all three days. Use the Conference Meals section of the registration form to purchase lunch and dinner tickets for children participating in any Friday and Saturday Future Farmers programming.

Babysitting Program
(18 months–4 years)
Our youngest Future Farmers will have their own special room to play in with some toys and snacks provided. Parents may visit at any time.

Kids Program
(5 years by Sept 1, 2009–Grade 5)
Kids will enjoy environmental lessons, crafts, music, and games with a sustainable focus. Swimming in the hotel’s heated pool is another popular activity. Parents are required to chaperone during one workshop session.

Youth Program (Grades 6–8)
PASA’s up-and-coming farmers will get a taste of the conference with sustainably themed activities and agricultural lessons held at the Penn Stater, as well as at several nearby locations. For the costs of these programs, please go to the Registration Rates page.
