Sprouts
1/2 Day Program for 4 & 5 year olds Offered all weeks Mon.-Fri., 9am-noon $110/wk members, $120/wk nonmembers Reduced rate for Holiday Week* With an eye towards the unique needs of very young children, we structure the half day program to include lots of imagination, hands-on learning and play activities. Little ones love coming to camp; feeding pigs, visiting the cows, collecting eggs, handling chicks and ducklings, munching veggies and strawberries in the garden, learning simple recipes, exploring the woods, building fairy houses, singing songs, listening to stories, playing games, making art, and of course... learning how to use an outhouse! |

Farm Kids
Full Day Program for 6-10 year olds Offered all weeks Mon.-Fri., 9am-3pm $195/wk members, $205/wk nonmembers Reduced rate for Holiday Week* The Farm Kids Program allows campers to experience all the workings of a small, organic working farm. Pigs, ducks, turkeys and laying hens are all part of a camper's experience. Campers will participate in farm chores such as weeding, picking potato bugs, collecting eggs, feeding the pigs, and planting seedlings. Campers will take walks in the woods, learn about farm and forest ecology, collect salamanders and frogs, do craft projects, and learn how good local, organic farm-raised food can be through simple cooking projects. Campers play and read and dig in the dirt and come home asking for snap peas and carrots for dinner. |
