Summer Camp starts with meeting new kiddos and our dynamic leaders. Right from day-one with getting-to-know-you activities, your camper will be wondering “What could be next?”
Days are programmed with new experiences, challenges and creativity with both process and product in mind.
Our leader create unique sessions drawing from pioneer times, homesteading and simple farming techniques.
Learning? sure but they won’t know it until the light bulb goes on and “They Know” nuggets from camp turn into “Ah Ha!” classroom moments in years to come.

Camp Routine seem familiar yet unique as different farm animals get introduced daily.
Farm life feeds all senses; creating with fleece or feathers, snuggling at critter therapy time or watching a duck hatch. Yes, it’s a farm complete with farm smells!
Hot days have wet play with sponge toss games, our unicorn sprinkler and shady down-time. Freezies are always a part of afternoon snack.
From a tree swing to a ninja line, from Duck-Duck-Goose to our own farm song - campers enjoy what makes camp memorable. We let kids play and be kids together.
Activities are age-appropriate, yet stretch their limits and challenge kiddos as they try new things.
We believe in “I can!” and “Let’s attempt!”
There’s so much fun to be had at Farm Camp
