At our summer camp, we acknowledge the power of mindfulness and seek to deepen our connection to the world around us in the most practical way we know how, farming!
We are a new farm-based summer camp that values mindfulness and intentionally engaging with nature whose programming consists of farm animal care, field and forest exploration, planting and harvesting, nature crafts, and water fun!
Programming
Participants will learn about and engage with the farm in a whole new way! Just some camp activities include participating in the compost program, caring for and learning about the animals on the farm (cows, pigs, goats, sheep, alpaca, peacocks, etc.), creating unique nature-themed crafts often sourced from nature itself, planting in their own assigned raised garden bed for the week, as well as getting a chance the harvest and clean the mature version of the same fruits and veggies they plant! During water fun, participants will cool off and use our inflatable water slide and sprinklers.
Just some of our program activities include,
-planting
-foraging and identification
-pest identification
-flower pressing
-stream study
-education on organic growing methods, permaculture, and natural pest management
-making natural dyes-making treats for farm animals
-collecting eggs and washing
-composting
-leaf luminaries
-and so much MORE!
Our program for children aged 5-10 years old consists of 7 one-week long sessions running from July to the end of August with 1 week at the end of July available in individual days for those 18+ who miss the summer camp experience and want to learn more about sustainable agriculture and mindfulness, and want to engage more with nature.
Participants are expected to provide their own lunch. In the event a participant does not have a lunch a peanut free lunch will be provided.
