Blooming Barnyard Spring Break Camp (Ages 5-10) Full DayThis is a full day camp- 9am-2pm
This spring break farm camps integrates hands-on agricultural tasks with nature-based STEM and culinary arts. For campers, these activities emphasize the interconnectedness of birds, pollinators, and the food cycle. Become a Winged Wonder Scout this spring as we dive into the high-flying world of birds and bugs! The farm will transform into an "Airborne Academy" where campers use binoculars to track migratory birds and magnifying glasses to decode the secret lives of pollinators. We’ll trek through the fields to spot feathered residents, build custom bird villas, and even go on a Bug Bingo hunt to find the tiny heroes that make our farm grow. It’s a high-energy blend of art, outdoor exploration, and teamwork, perfect for every young nature guardian!
Camp Activities:
Storytime Exploration: Each camp will begin with an interactive and exploratory storytime. We will discuss our theme of the day, read correlated stories and poems, sing songs, and explore the farm. We will use seasonal literature to deepen the connection between the campers and Rosewood Farm’s landscape.
Arts & Crafts: Our arts and crafts curriculum is reimagined as a bridge between scientific observation and creative expression, effectively transforming the entire farm into a vibrant outdoor studio. Campers will treat the landscape as their palette, gathering inspiration from the textures of the barnyard and the colors of the surrounding nature. By integrating natural elements, children don't just observe the farm; they use its raw materials to engineer functional art that give back to the ecosystem they are studying.
Cooking: Our campers will have the opportunity to create and enjoy farm-to-table snacks using hands-on engagement with seasonal produce. Not only will we be able to enjoy a delicious snack, we will have the freedom and creativity to produce our own themed-snack and enjoy it with our friends!
Game Time:We will focus on developing gross motor skills like balance, coordination, and strength through high-energy, themed games! These activities, such as barnyard tag and harvest relay, are designed to build gross motor strength and coordination while fostering a sense of teamwork and fun!
What to Bring:
Sunscreen (please apply before camp starts, full day camp will have sunscreen applied again midday)
Bug spray
Lunch (we will be supplying a nutritious themed snack and have beverages available, but please provide a lunch for full day camp)

Logistics: This is a drop-off camp, allowing young adventurers to independently immerse themselves in the farm experience. Parents or guardians are kindly requested to sign a waiver at drop-off, ensuring a smooth and safe experience for all participants. Please have your child dressed ready to play and explore! We will be using natural materials and investigating our farm, so we may get a little dirty in the process. This camp will mainly be held outside, so please dress for the weather.
