Farm Camp 2022 Registration is now open!
To Register—You must complete both steps!
Step 1: Purchase the camp weeks you would like to attend through the Camp 2022 Store. **Do this first **
Step 2: Fill out the registration form once per child.
***Registration is not considered complete until you have completed both steps.***
Spaces tend to fill quickly! If you did not get into a week that you wanted, please email Renae at education@commongroundfarm.org to be added to the waiting list. More spaces may become available at a later date.
Our camp instructors develop plans for the morning sessions based on the weekly themes, using a variety of methods for exploration. Our campers dig into each week’s program through direct engagement, scaffolded to their age level. We harvest, we explore, we make art, we experiment, we move our bodies, we play games, and we get really dirty!
In the afternoons we offer the return of Campers’ Choice, where children will have less structured time to play games, craft their own creations, and explore the natural world. Campers will be given the choice to move between different activities offered by the instructors and counselors. The activities available will have new choices every day!
This year, Farm Camp is open to children ages 4 to 12. Children will be grouped according to age: Carrots (4-5 year olds), Tomatoes (6-7 year olds), Broccoli (8-9 year olds) and Zucchini (10-12 year olds).
Tuition is $325 per week. Full and sliding scale scholarships are available.
Registration will open on March 8th at noon. Please be prepared to complete both the payment and the registration form to secure your registration at that time.
Full refund (minus $75 non-refundable registration fee per slot) may be granted if requested by 6/1/22; After this date, refunds will be granted on a per-case basis (in the event of illness or family emergency). If paying by check, send payment in full to: Common Ground Farm, PO Box 148, Beacon, NY 12508.
