Farm Camp Activities include:

The Giving Garden Making & planting beds, adding compost, planting, watering, weeding, harvesting, eating and observing.

Farm Animals Feeding and watering the chickens & ducks, refilling nesting boxes, collecting chicken eggs, and keeping the animals company.

Arts & Crafts Learn to make corn stock dolls, nature journals, vegetable stamps, mobiles and collages with found objects.

Stories & Songs Enjoy and relax during the heat of the day under the fruit trees with new stories and puppet shows we create and share together.

With the close guidance of our staff, children develop a deeper sense of community through shared work in the Giving Garden, with the farm animals, by making arts & crafts using natural fibers, and of course through play, puppet shows and stories. The week of camp ends with the children harvesting vegetables from the Giving Garden and preparing lunch for the whole farm to enjoy together, bringing their farm experience full circle from the garden to the table.
