Farm Camp is an outdoor, on-farm summer experience for children ages 4+/- to 10+.
Each day is filled with hands-on activities based on what is happening in the growing season. Ample group games, nature-based art projects, farm fresh cooking, free play, snacks and stories round out the day. Activities may include sowing, transplanting, harvesting, washing, eating and composting, journaling, natural dyeing, wild crafting, making pollinator hotels, fort building, clay/adobe play, mud kitchen, cooking, fermentation, weaving, fire building, tree climbing, singing, storytelling, water games, and more! (If your child ages 10-17 is interested in our Junior Counselor-in-Training or Counselor-in-Training Programs, please see the separate registrations on our Farm Camp website page.)
