Farm Camp
A SUMMER DAY CAMP FOR YOUTH 8-13 YEARS OLD
A wonderful adventure – Farm Camp sows the seeds of responsibility, respect, community and stewardship. You can expect your child to have a hands-on farm experience learning about planting and harvesting vegetables, bees and honey, eggs and chickens, bunnies and goats, feeding and caring for animals, farm equipment, and more. While there is a focus on farming, campers will also have a well-rounded camp experience participating in activities like arts and crafts, games, and nature exploration.
Please plan to have your child dressed appropriately and prepared to get a little dirty.
