Because of your support, campers were able to learn about where their food comes from while exploring the outdoors and having fun. See you next summer!
We invite campers to learn, explore, and have fun together! We strive to create a mini-community at every camp, providing individual attention and positive encouragement through unique outdoor activities in a farm-based setting. Please join us!
