Overnight Farm and Forest Adventure Camp
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, trail stewardship and orienteering, team-building challenges, and evening campfire programs with stargazing and songs. Kids will learn practical skills—gardening, composting, trail maintenance, basic navigation—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. For details and registration, visit thecrest at willowwitt website.
