Teen Program
For some youth, this program is a long awaited "right-of-passage" and the culmination of their farm-based learning that was began as a camper. Other families find this program when researching meaningful and memorable summer experiences for their teens.
On the farm, teens are offered the independence to learn about themselves, the environment to identify their talents, and the mentorship to learn new life skills. Many long-lasting friendships have been cultivated at Heritage Creek Farm Camp.
