EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF FARM CAMP
Family Farm provides the opportunity for those young and young at heart to learn about life on the farm.
Meet & greet the animals, learn about the origin of food, and participate in hands-on activities that teach about the plant and animal kingdoms. Each Family Farm will be different as activities will follow the ebb and flow of the seasons.
No current dates scheduled
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.
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.
