Campers will also enjoy unique experiences like goat yoga and painting flowerpots, ensuring a week filled with enjoyable and educational farm activities.Additionally, this year we are excited to introduce swimming in our new pool, so please ensure your child comes prepared with a swimsuit, a change of clothes, and a towel each day.
To conclude the week, we will host an ice cream social and an award ceremony on Friday to celebrate the campers' accomplishments.
Each participant will leave with new skills, friendships, and lasting memories, along with a photo collage of their week and two complimentary tickets to one of our summer movie nights.
Fostering friendships with hands-on outdoor experiences in nature
During each week long session, campers develop meaningful connections, explore new forms of self-expression, and dig deep in multifaceted projects inspired by life on our farm.
campers fill their days with discovery
We transform chores into enjoyable activities! Each day, campers engage in farm tasks such as planting and harvesting vegetables, creating innovative crafts, tending to the animals, exploring ecological concepts, participating in community games, swimming, and unleashing their creativity with crafts.
Each week at camp offers a unique experience, with a distinct emphasis on engaging games, activities, and crafts that provide enjoyment and variety.
Each camp session provides your children an array of exciting new activities, crafts and gamez to broaden their world and nurture their connections to nature, history, farm life and ecology.
