PRINCESS ANNE, MD- (February 2, 2021)-Area middle and high school students currently in grades 8-11 can apply now through March 25 for the 2021 AgDiscovery summer program slated for June 13-26 at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.  Campers will reside on campus unless COVID-19 concerns mandate that it shifts to a virtual experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, AgDiscovery is a free opportunity for students to explore agricultural sciences and gain knowledge about related careers, such as wildlife management, veterinary medicine, biotechnology, entomology, food safety, food production, agribusiness and forestry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UMES\u2019 program is in its ninth year and has introduced over 140 students to the diverse careers and opportunities in the field, said Corrie Cotton, a research assistant professor in UMES\u2019 Department of Agriculture, Food and Resource Sciences and one of the organizers for UMES\u2019 annual summer camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cParticipants learn through a series of hands-on labs, workshops, research projects and field trips,\u201d she said.  \u201cThey also have the unique experience of interacting with scientists conducting state-of-the-art research at the UMES Agricultural Experiment Station and at regional research centers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The camp is free, but students must apply to the program by March 25. Visit www.aphis.usda.gov\/agdiscovery<\/a> to obtain the application package.  For more information, contact Corrie Cotton at 410-651-6630.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
