Farm and Garden Camps
Farm and Garden Camp
6 days | Grades 5–7
Through this one week camp, participants will not only enjoy the traditional aspects of camp, but also spend time on our farm! They’ll experience first-hand the day-to-day operations of a working farm, maintain the high tunnels, harvest produce, and work with the animals. They will have the opportunity to harvest produce for the dinning hall, and learn how the leftovers are composted and returned to the soil to grow more vegetables next year.
Campers can look forward to a one night “Farm Stay” where they will camp out on the farm and prepare their meals with produce harvested with their own hands! Campers will be able to witness first-hand how flavorful fruits and vegetables are when they are grown locally and picked at the peak of harvest. During this Farm Stay, campers will learn the skills sets needed to identify ripe vegetables, how to harvest them, and the cooking techniques required to complete the process of learning to eat what we grow.
