Camp Weeks: Summer 2010

                                   

We invite kids age 6 to 11 to join in the farm fun at FarmWonders this summer! The theme of each individual week will be learnt through a variety of exciting recreational activities, crafts and hands-on science experiments. Each week will include a forest hike, a visit with our farm chickens, a workshop by one of our Farm Friends and a special harvest lunch on our last day of camp!

Registration limit: To accommodate the growing demand for our summer camp, we have decided to limit camper registration to one week per camper. Please respect this limitation.

H2O is the water you drink and the clouds in the sky. The farm is your playground for water fun and discovery: giant sprinklers, ice cube towers, muddy earth, and maybe a lil' water from the sky! Water can be fun and amazing, but its most incredible stunt is keeping you and our farm alive.
