The day-long camp will be June 17 at the new Taylor County Extension Center and its adjacent Big Country Hall on the Expo Center grounds in Abilene.
Places are still open for youngsters to participate in the camp.
Counties helping coordinate the camp are Taylor, Jones, Nolan, Callahan, Coleman, Shackelford, Fisher and Eastland. Registration forms can be picked up at any of those counties. Whalen will coordinate The Smokehouse at the camp. The Smokehouse teaches youngsters how to survive a fire. Hendrick Medical Center staff also will be showing emergency steps to take in an accident before professional care arrives at the scene.
