Summer Camp on the Farm offers children a joyful blend of classic childhood summer fun and meaningful connection to the land. Days are filled with creek splashing, dirt digging, bug catching, swinging on the playset, and wide-open freedom to explore.
Children experience the farm in action—hiking the cornfields, feeding chickens and ducks, observing cattle, and participating in simple, age-appropriate farm chores. We offer themed weeks that allow children to explore different parts of our campus more deeply. One example is Orchard Week, where campers pick fruit, cook with it, climb apple trees, learn about the life cycle of apple and pear trees, meet the orchard farmers, and observe cider pressing.

Our summer camp operates from June 30th – August 13th. Our camp is a weekly three day camp, from Tuesday through Thursday. Arrival happens at 10AM, with pick up at 3pm. The cost is $195/week, and is inclusive of an organic lunch. Morning and afternoon snacks must be provided by parents.
You can choose to extend your child’s day with us, from 9AM – 5:30PM. The cost of the extended day is $35/day.
Our summer camp is open to children ages 3–8 who are independent bathroom users. There are a total of no more than 15-20 campers per day.
We believe in a mixed age experience, providing an experience with naturally higher levels of critical thinking, responsible play and polite discourse amongst the kids. We do group the campers by age for some activities, including a morning circle, and some hikes or themed activities that are better suited for certain ages. But, for the most part, we spend our days together, exploring and experiencing the farm.
Children ages 9-12 are invited to participate as Junior Camp Counselors. More details can be found at the bottom of this page.
Our camp days follow a predictable, calming rhythm while leaving plenty of room for curiosity, creativity, and free play.
Morning Arrival & Outdoor Play
Children arrive and ease into the day with open-ended activity stations in our garden and play spaces. Options may include art and crafts, sensory bins, sprinkler or water play, climbing, imaginative games, and free exploration.
Farm Hike & Animal Care
Mid-morning, we head out on a short guided farm hike. Children visit animals, observe farm life in action, and participate in simple, age-appropriate chores such as feeding chickens or watering plants.
Organic Lunch
After a busy morning, children gather to enjoy a nourishing organic lunch together. This is a time to rest, connect, and refuel.
Indoor Cool-Down & Themed Activity
In the early afternoon, we move indoors to cool off and enjoy a quieter activity connected to the week’s theme. These activities may include cooking projects, crafts, storytelling, or hands-on learning experiences.
Afternoon Outdoor Wind-Down
We end the day outdoors with stories, songs, and gentle games in the shade, allowing children to transition calmly before pickup.
At Summer Camp on the Farm, we strive to create a gentle, engaging, and respectful environment where children can explore, grow, and feel supported. Our team puts great care into creating meaningful days for the children, and the experience is richest when families feel connected and informed. We warmly invite parents to engage with us—ask questions, share thoughts, and offer feedback. Open communication helps us care for your child in the best way possible, and we value your partnership.
Our campus is a working farm, which means children will encounter real farm elements such as animals, compost, uneven ground, tall grass, metal fencing, mud, and rain puddles. These experiences are part of the learning and adventure, and they require children to have a bit of grit, stamina, and curiosity. We ask families to support this by sending children in weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes, and by approaching the experience with flexibility and trust.
We are committed to fostering a culture of kindness, safety, inclusivity, and mutual respect among children and adults. We use a gentle, relationship-based approach to guidance and set clear boundaries around behavior. Aggressive behavior—including cursing, threats, or physical harm—is not permitted. You can review our full Aggressive Behavior Policy right here.
Thank you for being part of a community that values respect, resilience, and joyful learning outdoors.
Junior Camp Counselors are offered a meaningful opportunity to work alongside staff and younger campers in a unique summer experience that blends responsibility, mentorship, and joyful learning. Older youth will support daily camper activities, assist with farm chores, and gain hands-on experience in the garden and kitchen, building practical skills while growing in confidence and leadership.
On the first day, Junior Camp Counselors will begin with a brief orientation, including an introduction to farm, kitchen, and garden routines. They will then be paired with a staff member and fellow Junior Camp Counselors to support younger campers during a guided farm hike. Lunch will be shared together as a full camp community.
In the afternoon, Junior Camp Counselors will continue assisting with arts and crafts, cooking activities, and engaging farm experiences. While each day may vary slightly, afternoons typically include light chores, teaching support, shared storytelling, time in the garden, and helping campers prepare to wrap up the day.
Junior Camp Counselors should enter the role with curiosity, a willingness to learn, comfort working across age groups, and a readiness to get a little muddy along the way.
The schedule and cost for the Junior Camp Counselor program are the same as the standard camp program. Registration is completed through the same link above—please be sure to check the box indicating registration for the Junior Camp Counselor program.
