Summer Day Camp on The Farm

Are your kids interested in learning about life on the farm?  They can come spend three days being real "farm hands."  We'll help milk cows, collect eggs, work in the garden, and tend the animals.  It won't all be work - we'll also spend time hiking along Eagle Creek, discovering the ecosystem within and around the Creamery.  And, of course, we'll make crafts and food!  Come meet new friends at the Farm and eat the Creamery's yummy treats Every Day!  

Date:

• July 7th - July 9th (child is entering 2nd or 3rd grade in the fall)
• August 4th - 6th (child is entering 4th or 5th grade in the fall)

Time:

• 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

Cost:

• $180 per camper ($10 discount for siblings attending either week)
• Includes snack each day, crafts, and cookout on the last day of camp

Quote of the Week

"[Gardening] gets a body outside for some part of every day to work the heart, lungs, and muscles you wouldn't believe existed, providing a healthy balance to desk jobs that might otherwise render us chair potatoes.  Instead of needing to drive to the gym, we walk up the hill to do pitchfork free weights, weed-pull yoga, and Hoe Master.  No excuses.  The weeds could win."
