Weather appropriate clothing is required.

(Daily Rate Camp spots will open two weeks before camp begins if space allows)
Our days are dynamic, depending on the ever-changing natural environment of the farm and forest (evidence of animals, emergence of new flowers, what needs to be planted, weeded or harvested, insect activity, effects of weather on the land etc.) We will explore the gardens, learn about biodiversity, how to plant seeds, and what plants need to thrive, while working hands-on in the garden. We will also spend time exploring the forest on-site, building forts, and playing in the ever-popular 'Mud Kitchen'.
The educators will provide opportunities for outdoor skill development, co-operative games, crafts, and LOTS of movement. The day's activities begin and end in our gathering space where we will share stories, songs, poems, or plays. Educators also add to the day's learning by introducing provocations such as simple tools and loose parts used for building, planting and creating. We spend all our time outdoors, rain or shine! In the case of inclement weather, we have a safe, indoor space to take shelter. Campers are to bring a large litterless lunch with snacks and 2 FULL water bottles to fuel our bodies for the day. We do "Boomerang Lunches" meaning all garbage and food scraps return home in lunch bags.
Join us for growing, exploring, and fun!
