AT FARM CAMP, children explore our relationship to food and to nature through hands-on experiments, movement, games, and art. Children spend time in the garden, at the pond, in the field, in the barn, and along our nature trails. Participants develop a deeper understanding of how food is grown—from the soil, to the crops, to the animals. Through a variety of experiences, kids develop an appreciation of the complexity of the natural environment within which we live while having a tremendously good time!
Our camp instructors develop plans for the morning sessions based on the weekly themes and through different methods of exploration. The children engage in each day’s topics through music, art, science experiments, movement, and more!
In the afternoons, children have the ability to choose from several options that may include sprinkler time, nature hikes, group games, time exploring with our farmers, or art projects. The last hour of each Friday is devoted to performing, showing the art that we made, and sharing the food that we harvested and prepared together with our Families.
Each group is limited to 12 children and will be led by an adult educator and a counselor. Children bring a lunch and snack. This will be supplemented by fresh food grown in our garden.
HALF DAY 9AM to 1PM $200—Please note, Half Day programs are offered for 3–6 year olds only.
FULL DAY 9AM to 3PM $250
**New for 2015! Camp for 3 and 4 year olds! This year Common Ground Farm is offering a special version of each camp for our youngest campers! Camp for 3 and 4 year olds will offer fewer transitions—the kids will work with the same instructor and counselor all morning—and each day’s program will be specially designed for younger children. All children must be fully potty trained to participate!
