Bring your family to the farm to enjoy Stone Soup under the Harvest Moon, learn how full moon names relate to the seasons, and say goodnight to the farm animals at sunset.
The Harvest Moon by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"It is the Harvest Moon! On gilded vanes And roofs of villages, on woodland crests And their aerial neighborhoods of nests Deserted, on the curtained window-panes Of rooms where children sleep, on country lanes And harvest-fields, its mystic splendor rests! Gone are the birds that were our summer guests, With the last sheaves return the laboring wains! All things are symbols: the external shows Of Nature have their image in the mind, As flowers and fruits and falling of the leaves; The song-birds leave us at the summer's close, Only the empty nests are left behind, And pipings of the quail among the sheave."

Oaks and Acorns Program is designed for children ages 18 months to 5 years old that are accompanied by a parent or caregiver. Circle time, movement, nature-based AgVentures, and animal care will inspire our group play and morning tasks. Surrounded by the beauty of farm, forest and fields, we will follow the rhythm of the seasons and encourage exploration through the freedom of imaginative play. Younger and older siblings are welcome to participate, but activities are geared toward toddler through preschool aged children. Please inquire about space for older siblings.
Miss Krysten has over 20 years of experience in Early Childhood Education. She is the director at Under the Willow School where she has also been a Kindergarten Assistant Teacher since 2019. She has two wonderful children, loves being outside and is currently working toward a Master's Degree in Non-Fiction Creative Writing. Krysten is excited to return to HCFC.

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.
