Half Day Camp
June 17-21
Off Grid
Registration Closed
This week, young farmers will focus on life without modern conveniences: running water, electricity, plastics, and more! Young farmers will learn how to make their own bread and butter, make their own wooden tools, and make makeshift shelters for themselves and their furry friends. Of course, young farmers will have plenty of time to do their own explorations, guided by their own interests.
June 24-28
History Mystery
Although the buildings on our farm are new, the history of the farm and people using this land stretches far back in history! During this week of camp, young farmers will help unravel the mystery of the farm's history, unearthing clues to the farm's distant and more recent past. They will learn some "junior archaeology skills" in order to gather evidence to find out how the land has changed throughout the years.

The young farmers participating in our half-day farm camp will spend at least an hour each day working on individual or group projects. Children can choose what topic they would like to explore through these projects. Project ideas may include:
-
Designing and building a rabbit hutch, birdhouse, or duck habitat
-
Observing a wildflower patch and taking data on the variety of animal and plant species that reside there
-
Use pea plants to explore how quickly plants grow in different soil and weather conditions
