General Information
The goal of OTFUF Urban Farm Camp is to teach neighborhood children (rising 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders) how to grow vegetables while cultivating their appreciation for the work of farmers and earth science. We will be engaged in a variety of gardening, science, and art activities as well as reading and playing games.
The camp will meet at Over the Fence Urban Farm (143 E Dominion Blvd) Monday, July 5th through Friday, July 9th from 9am-noon. The camp week will end in a camper-led tour of the farm and market sale beginning at 11:30am on July 9th.
The cost of the camp is $150.
(This cost of this program is subsidized by our annual Pollinator Lovers' Plant Sale)
