An Adventure Week for Older Campers
Overnight Farm and Forest
Adventure Camp
Ages 11-14
July 13 – 16, 2026, 4 days, 3 nights
Hands‑on farm life, forest exploration, and camp tradition
Immerse your camper in four days and three nights of hands-on farm life, forest exploration, and joyful camp traditions. Our small-group overnight experience blends farm-to-table cooking (salads, breads, seasonal recipes), animal care (goat hikes, egg collection), nature art and journaling, team-building challenges, and evening programs with stargazing and songs. Kids will learn practical skills—while building confidence, leadership, and a deeper connection to the local landscape and wildlife (pollinator surveys, turtle and bird hikes, BioBlitz opportunities).
Safe, experiential, and rooted in place-based learning, the camp includes guest instructors and choice-driven activities so campers can follow their curiosity—cooking, crafting, exploring, or leading younger peers. Perfect for young adventurers who love animals, nature, and making things with their hands.
