Farm Camp gives children a chance to experience life on a farm by engaging them in a daily routine which includes caring for the camp garden and animals, preparing meals, participating in outdoor recreational activities like fishing, hiking, exploring nature through a variety of activities and crafts.  Most importantly the campers learn how everything is inter-connected. 

The campers will take part in planning and designing different aspects of the farm with the goal of creating a sustainable system which benefits both humans and the environment.  Farm Camp continues to grow as we bring more animals into our program.  Welcome back Bitsy, our American Miniature Pony.  The pony can provide both fertilizer compost for our gardens and a mode of transporting of heavier goods such as water and hay by cart to the outer reaches of the farm.  Welcome back, Sal and Peppe, our two bunnies (now full grown) who also provide fertilizer in our raised garden beds, and enjoy playing in their “playground” designed by the campers.  And our chicks from last year are now egg-layers which many of us will enjoy when we have our weekly “Breakfast for Lunch” menu.  Come check out some new friends and cherish the old.  We say goodbye to Simba who passed away peacefully this year and is now buried on a hilltop of Hammond Hill.
