In the current age of technology, tweens and teens with a love for nature could be considered endangered species. Through activities on the farm, youth will explore the environment, experience new opportunities, expand their horizons, and share social time with peers. This community service initiative combines “explorential learning”, with activities that enriches academic endeavors.
In a nutshell, we strive to spark the enthusiasm "to know", build the willpower "to do", teach the wisdom to work together, cultivate the inner strength to take action, and create the freedom "to be." We encourage a life-long love of learning and instill a sense of community.
