We did that with our kids and now with GS8. He goes to the cattleman & breed association meetings with us. The local cattleman's association is set up to have guest speakers on a regular basis for educational purposes. The junior associations he belongs to are set up with a bit more educational activities than the adults, but they groom the kids to become fully participating members of the adult associations at 18-21.
GS8 has gone to lots of farm related seminars with us. He attends field days with us and goes to the Farm Science Review. He's gone to clinics put on by the Department of Natural Resources, similar to what your son just did.
Anything we're interested in, we take him. We have him take along a book in case it's too far over his head but he takes in more & more each time.
But, this is fairly common among the agriculture community.
ACS, have you checked out your state Department of Natural Resources?
