Full Day Farm Camp
May 28-31
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
This week, young farmers will explore how they can reuse, recycle, and upcycle materials on the farm. For example, they will feed the pigs and learn about the pigs' role in breaking down kitchen waste and enriching the soil! Young farmers will also learn about their own impact on the natural world and ways they can minimize their ecological footprint!
June 3-7
Seeds, Soil, Science!
Registration Closed
During this week of camp, young farmers will explore the beauty of soil! They will get up close and personal to soil helpers, such as soil amendments, insects, and worms. They will also learn about the importance of nutritional balance for quality soil, and soil's impact on vegetable production. Young farmers will also discover the science behind how seeds grow!
June 10-14
Farm Kid Textiles
Registration Closed
For this third week of camp, young farmers will learn all about the way we use textiles here on the farm and in their everyday lives. They will discover how to use different kinds of looms and weaving techniques using a variety of materials. Young farmers will also learn how to make rope, thatched roofs for animal habitats (and possibly a tree fort), and learn how to sew!
