More than veggies grow at this farm! 
See for yourself at our 2025 summer day camps.

Each day, campers will participate in a variety of outdoor activities facilitated by camp counselors as well as child-led freeplay opportunities. Weekly themes bring excitement and variety to the camp program. No matter the week they are signed up to attend, every camper will participate in the following weekly activities*:

• Nature exploration, like animal games, scavenger hunts, and camouflage activities

• Garden investigation, like bug hunts, color hunts, and garden taste-testing

• Outdoor skills, like fire building, foraging, and knot tying

• Arts & Crafts with recycled and/or natural materials

• Visit the chickens or fiber rabbits (at SUF only, not available at off-site programs)

• An activity to make the world a better place, like creek litter clean up or a pollinator take home project

​

*Mini sessions and half-day camps will do at least half of the above activities.

​

Campers also have a daily Snacktivity (an activity they eat), Forest Freeplay, and participate in 15-20 minutes of Farm Chores (weeding and watering in the garden, collecting firewood, turning compost, etc.) to help the farm be its best.

​

Check out the Summer Camp Family Guide (link below) for more info.

​

Just like the plants in the garden, children will grow at farm camp, too. Through outdoor exploration, hands-on activities, and free play, our goal is that campers will grow in the following ways: 
 

• Build self-esteem through interactions with others and participation in new and challenging activities.

• Grow communication and problem solving skills through child-led freeplay and  facilitated activities.

• Learn gardening, cooking, and healthy eating skills that they are able to share at home.

• Develop kindness, compassion, and empathy by caring for living things, articulating feelings, and contributing to group success.

• Become stewards of the land, forming a connection with the earth and a desire to protect both living and non-living elements of our ecosystem. 

​

Every day will bring new opportunities and new experiences designed to showcase the joys of nature and spending childhood outdoors!
