Farm Camp at our award-winning certified organic farm provides your child with an experience like no other: we want your child to feel like our farm is theirs. Every morning, campers learn new skills by helping on the farm. Age appropriate activities are designed for every aspect, from caring for livestock — rabbits, chickens, goats, sheep, pigs, horse — to running the farm stand. Afternoons are for fun: cooking, eating, arts and crafts, building, games, learning from sustainability experts, as well as plenty of time to relax, enjoy and explore our organic farm.

Every day, campers can try new techniques like: knife skills, using a solar oven, grilling in the fire pit, developing recipes, making veggetti-spaghetti and foraging for wild and organic goodies.

Week 2 (June 11-15): Livestock Love

Campers take the lead on animal care as they learn about life cycles on the farm. They’ll help care for our chickens, pigs, goats, rabbits, guinea fowl and horse, White Socks. Activities include: feeding, grooming, collecting eggs, maintaining pasture, composting and working in the barn.
