In this unique and engaging camp, children are offered a rare glimpse into the heart of farm life, particularly emphasizing the care and understanding of rescue farm animals. This program is designed not just as an educational journey but as a hands-on adventure that brings kids closer to nature and the fundamentals of farm living. Here, the focus is on fostering a deep connection between the children and the animals they’ll be caring for, many of which have been rescued and given a new lease on life on the farm.

The camp’s curriculum is thoughtfully structured to ensure a comprehensive exploration of farm ecosystems, allowing kids to understand the intricate balance of life on a farm. They’ll learn about the various roles and responsibilities involved in farm operations, with a special emphasis on the specific needs and care requirements of each rescue animal. This immersive experience is aimed at nurturing empathy, responsibility, and a strong sense of stewardship towards animals and nature.

Activities are diverse and engaging, designed to cater to a range of interests and learning styles. Kids will have the opportunity to get their hands dirty in the children’s garden, an activity that teaches them about plant life cycles, soil health, and the importance of pollinators. Sowing seeds becomes a metaphor for nurturing and growth, principles that are echoed in the care of the rescue animals.

Insect hunting is another key activity, turning a simple exploration into a learning opportunity about the smaller inhabitants of the farm and their critical roles in the ecosystem. This activity not only sparks curiosity about the natural world but also teaches children about the interconnectedness of all living things.

The camp is not all work and no play; there are plenty of fun-filled outdoor activities designed to engage children in the sheer joy of being outdoors. These activities are crucial for developing physical skills, teamwork, and a love for outdoor adventures.

This hands-on adventure camp is a celebration of life on the farm, with all its messy, joyful, and meaningful moments. Getting dirty is not just expected; it’s part of the fun. It’s an invitation for kids to step out of their comfort zones, engage with the world around them, and learn life lessons that extend far beyond the farm’s fences. Through this camp, children will not only gain a deeper appreciation for farm life and animal care but also develop a lasting connection to the environment and an understanding of their role in protecting and nurturing it.

Safety and Fun: Safety is our priority, so all activities will be supervised. We ensure a balance of fun and learning, with plenty of opportunities for hands-on exploration.
