Camp programs made their own vermiposting bins.\u00a0 Camp Agape\u2019s naturalist, Mir Youngquist-Thurow, led the sessions on how to create the bins, compost at home, and why composting can be so beneficial in our world. \u00a0We hope that campers will not only use their bins at home to continue vermiposting but also as a tool to teach their family, friends, and neighbors.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Alissa Oleson<br \/>\nProgram Director<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the eighth in a series of posts highlighting hunger-related activities that happened over the summer at ELCA Outdoor Ministry locations with the help of Education\/Advocacy grants from ELCA World Hunger.
