A Joyful Farm Experience
for Little Learners
Little Explorers Summer Camp is a hands-on farm experience created just for young children. Each camp features a playful new theme, with animals naturally woven into daily activities alongside outdoor play, art, water fun, stories, movement, sensory exploration, and creative fun. Camp days follow a gentle, predictable rhythm that helps children feel safe, confident, and excited to jump right in.
Children have regular opportunities to touch and interact with smaller, friendly animals like goats and bunnies. Campers will also see and learn about larger animals such as horses, cows, and donkeys through guided, age-appropriate farm experiences thoughtfully managed with young children in mind.
This is real farm camp without the overwhelm. Thoughtful, playful, a little muddy, and designed to meet young children right where they are.

Outdoor Time and Weather
Outdoor play is a core part of every camp day. We monitor conditions closely and make thoughtful decisions based on safety and comfort.
Light rain, cooler temperatures, and typical summer weather do not automatically keep us indoors. Heavy rain, thunderstorms, or extreme heat will move activities inside.
Children should come dressed for outdoor play, water fun, and happy little messes each day.

What to Bring and Wear

Water play is included in each camp through sprinklers, sensory water bins, and outdoor activities. Campers will get messy. Please send children in clothes you do not mind getting dirty.
Pricing
Camp is capped at 16 campers per camp. Each camp requires a minimum enrollment to run. Families will be notified by May 1 if a camp does not meet minimum enrollment.
