Importance of Unstructured Play

In addition to farm and nature based activities, unstructured activities are an important part of our Farm Camp day.  Unstructured, free play is so often undervalued in our current culture.  Studies and direct experience tell us that imaginative capacities and empathic intelligence are best developed during self directed play.  Our daily rhythm includes ample, unstructured time for free play, and our farm facility provides the environment for imaginative outdoor adventures.   

Lettuce Play Outside

Our farm facility has woods, stream, meadows and fields. During free play the imagination is given the freedom to explore and experience. Unstructured outdoor play provides the gift of creating inner peace.
