FARM CAMP UPDATE!
Farm Camp Location:
15 campers per session guided by one fantastic counselor!
At p.e.a.c.h. Community Farm, we offer 3 programs for any kids (and teenagers!) lookin' to get their hands dirty... and not be told to wash them! ;D
1) Roots Camp June 14-18, June 21-25, and August 16-20
The Roots camp will be an exploration of farm life. Kids will learn basic farming skills such as soil health and the planting, harvesting, and preparing of organic food. They will also learn permaculture techniques (intercropping, systems thinking, etc.) in a setting that strengthens their awareness and focuses on fun. Roots camp prepares campers for Sprouts camp while building traditions, friendships, and leaving any kid wanting more of the farm! This camp is designed for beginning diggers ages 7-11.
2) Sprouts Camp July 26-30
The Sprouts camp will be a continuation of lessons learned at Roots camp. From veggies to chickens, herbal medicine to goat cheese, farmers who go to Sprouts camp will be learning the particulars of farm life. They will also be exploring the more in-depth the intricacies of a permaculture farm, from indicator species to beneficial bugs. Whether a new camper or "an ol' time favorite", participation in Sprouts camp will deepen your love for farm life and all of nature's gifts! This camp is designed for farmers ages 7-11.
3) Shoots Camp August 2-6
Callin' all teens... this is one experience that won't compare to anything else. Shoots campers will spend a significant amount of time on the farm, learning from personal experience and mentorship. They will be working with the goats, our vegetable and herb gardens, greenhouses and at market, cultivating teamwork and self-sufficiency; wacky moments and strong skills to last a lifetime. These farmers will learn seed saving techniques, basic farm skills, permaculture principles and self-reliance. Don't think this is all work and no play! This camp is designed for teenagers age 12-15 (exceptions for the young-at-heart teen). Farm Camp enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis.
COST: $200* per week
