School’s ending, and summer is finally here! That means it’s time to sign up your budding grower for Jr. Growers Summer Camp! Jr. Growers Summer Camp welcomes 9-12-year-olds to join us on-farm, hands-on, to work alongside our growers while learning about regenerative agriculture, harvesting, food preparation, and sharing a daily meal. We’ll make goods for the market, connect with nature, and have fun while making art and music, building community and learning the magic and science that the farm holds.
This year, camp will be held on Monday-Wednesday with the following hours:
Mondays, 9 am - 2 pm
Tuesdays, 9 am - 2 pm
Wednesdays, Noon - 5 pm
Each Jr. Growers camp session has a variety of fun activities focused on a theme:
Science on the Farm: June 10-13
Jr. Growers will make earth candles, cyanotypes, and edible water bottles!
Music on the Farm: June 17-19
Jr. Growers will make music about compost, create their own instrument, and perform at the market.
Art on the Farm: June 24-26
Jr. Growers will make natural dyes, weave fiber, paint rocks for the garden, and build wire sculptures.
Growing Common Ground: July 15-17

Play With Your Food: July 22-24
