Just like a bee needs a flower, a child needs nature- Brandi Rondinelli
Farm camp gives children a magical place for adventures every day with friends on a farm. Campers gain confidence and skills as they care for animals, cook and garden, play, make art, practice archery, and cool down in the creek.
Our camp community, 19 years in the making, is special because of the people. Caring and talented counselors and staff create a safe and welcoming environment to nurture campers, to help them to grow and have a summer full of fun!

Bunk Life
Each group of up to 20 campers has a “bunk”, their home-away-from-home when they are not having adventures on the farm.
Age groups may remain separate or combine with other age groups depending on activity.
Learning happens everywhere all the time about nature, animals, botany, games, science and friendship. Campers, Counselors-in-Training, counselors, teachers and support staff make an amazing community together.
Specialists
Professional specialists lead classes in Art, Archery, Nature, and Cooking. Weekly special guests offer unique performances or themed activities.
The afternoon block is left to camper choice, but can include a swim in the creek or counselor-led activities.
What people are saying
“We thought this could finally be a ‘one of a kind’ summer experience for our son. To our delight it was and much, much more. He couldn’t wait to go every day. He loved being able to interact with the farm animals every day. He came home dirty and tired and in love with the farm!!”
Tom S.
“We chose Farm Camp because our daughter had such a great experience the previous summer. She loved being able to help take care of all of the animals; she liked to arrive at camp early just to be able to spend extra time visiting the rabbits and chickens! She was always happy when she came home from Farm Camp and was always excited to tell us about her day. She really enjoyed picking fruit and cooking treats with fresh foods from the farm.”
Mike A.
“Farm Camp far exceeded our expectations. Our children are excited to go, and disappointed when it’s over. Farm Camp is a collection of unique activities that you won’t find at other summer camps. As a parent I feel that I have provided my children with an experience, not a babysitter.”
