Farm Camp

FARM CAMP (GRADES 2-10)

Farm Camp is a working farm set on 515 acres, with a barn full of animals and a colorful garden, both of which are tended to daily by our campers. Here, children learn to care for all kinds of animals and cultivate and harvest the garden. At farm camp, children learn on a deep level what it means to live a healthy life, by eating the very foods they’ve grown and how important it is to be stewards of the earth. Frost Valley Farm Camp’s Mongolian yurts are arranged by age and gender, and campers spend their days integrated as a united community. This gives campers of all ages the chance to learn from one another, mentor others, and develop skills at their own pace.

“When I picked up my daughter from Farm Camp she immediately said, ‘Can I please go to two sessions next summer?’” - Parent of a Farm Camper

Campers also enjoy the simple pleasures of summer camp: swimming, boating, playing games and sports, making arts and crafts, and bonding with friends over the campfire. Farm Camp sows the seeds of our core values: Caring, Community, Diversity, Honesty, Inclusiveness, Respect, Responsibility, and Stewardship. FARM ACTIVITIES: Learn about the care of a variety of livestock including goats, sheep, alpacas, chickens, pigs, cows, and rabbits. Pick berries, learn where your food comes from, harvest, prepare, cook, pickle, make jams, compost, plant, save seeds, be a steward of our 3-acre garden space, and don’t forget your appetite for homegrown, healthy foods! Collect eggs, milk goats, muck stalls, harvest veggies, and enjoy family-style meals. Learn blacksmithing, wool arts, sheep shearing, candle making, soap making, yogurt and cheese making, and cooking in the kitchen.
