As a Sprout, children experience the freedom of summer.  Our youngest campers have their own play yard where they can explore the climbing structures, play in a straw bale house, dig in the sand box, wander through the garden, or do crafts with a counselor.  Throughout the day counselors will offer other activities, such as grinding corn for the chickens, planting seeds, visiting the farm animals, making flower chains or splashing in the wading pool.

Elementary aged children enjoy a week of being outside and doing purposeful work.  Young Stewards gather for a farmers’ meeting, often with a song and a game, before heading off to do their animal chores, like feeding the goats and collecting eggs from the chickens.  They also experience farm-based crafts, such as working with wool and making cheese.  Campers cool off on hot days with water games, and stories told under tall shady trees.

• Support all the fun and learning that is Farm Camp!
• Assist counselors with games and play, connect with Young Farmers and support their joyful exploration of camp
• Do hands-on agricultural work, animal care, and craft activities (everything you remember as a Farm Camper!)
• Gain deep bonds with other CIT’s through community conversation, farm work, and leadership growth
