p.e.a.c.h. Farm Camp
FARM CAMP: Dedicated to teaching children the joys of sustainability and farm life related to local food production.
Welcome to Farm Camp! This is an educational series intended to give children a better understanding of how farm systems work through fun, creativity, curiosity and play. Our Counselors’ main job is to engage the child through question-asking and allowing space for contemplation. They give children as much time as possible to explore the natural world and find out for themselves, not be told what is and what isn’t. Children are encouraged through questions that prod them to think and don’t give answers quickly, if at all. Most of all having fun is what Farm Camp is about. This camp is a celebration of the work we are doing on the farm and of the natural world.
Please stay tuned for information regarding our 2011 Farm Camp plans.
