Find your crew.
Every camper is placed by grade into one of three groups, each with activities suited to their age.
Our youngest campers get their first taste of farm life — feeding animals, digging in the garden, and exploring the woods with plenty of support along the way.
Campers take on more responsibility in the barn and garden, and start exploring the pond and trails with more independence.
Our oldest campers take the lead on farm chores and get first crack at the biggest adventures — paddleboarding, fishing, and beekeeping.
What a day looks like.
Every day follows the same steady rhythm kids come to count on — morning circle, hands-on rotations, real farm chores, and plenty of time outdoors.
They grow it. They cook it. They take it home.
Campers harvest vegetables from our organic gardens and learn to cook them with a real chef.
Through our Summit Fresh Mobile Market partnership, kids go home with fresh produce and cooking supplies to cook with their parents.

“My children are all deathly afraid of bees (and flying insects in general). When I found out my daughter wore a beekeeping suit and interacted with the beehives, I was shocked! She came home from camp every day excited to talk about all of her adventures from the day and tell us all about her favorite animals (Oreo the goat and Pumpkin Seed the chicken).”
Parent of a 2026 camper“This is the fourth camp we have tried this summer and the only one my child has come home from every day talking about how wonderful and amazing it is.”
Parent of a 2026 camper“The communication, attention to detail, and photos made available daily made the experience for us as parents that much better… Overall this camp was a phenomenal experience, 11 out of 10.”
Parent of a 2026 camper“This week he gained confidence, learned so much and made real positive human connections with peers and leaders.”
Parent of a 2026 camper“They raved about it all week, even with extreme weather. They gardened, cared for animals, hiked, paddle boarded, and learned so much about the science of growing food and how a farm functions.”
