About Camp

Each day, campers will participate in a variety of small group activities facilitated by their camp counselor as well as child-led freeplay opportunities. 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

• Arts & Crafts with recycled and/or natural materials

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

They also have a daily Snacktivity, 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.

Camp Goals

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.
