FARM CAMP AT EDEN’S ORGANIC GARDEN CENTER/CSA FARM
Come join the fun on the farm! Gather some eggs, harvest some veggies, learn what lives at the edge of the pond and much more. We will spend our mornings exploring, collecting and documenting what we discover on the farm utilizing photos, drawings, collage and other artistic means along with discussion, reading, songs and acting. This is a project based learning environment where the children will inspire the course of the day through their interests and suggestions. The program is targeted to ages 4 through 10. There is a minimum of five children and a maximum of ten for each session so tell your friends, but sign up quickly!
Farm Camp will be led by Jennifer Stuart who has over twenty years’ experience in Early Childhood Education and has attachment parented/homeschooled/unschooled her daughter (now 15). Farmer Marie Tedei will tell us about what is involved in running the farm and be sure that we follow all farm safety rules. She will check in on us as she goes about her busy farm day, but will not be directly involved in daily activities. We may have visitors with specific knowledge come and talk to us – we will let you know as these are scheduled.
Camp will be held in one week sessions (bonus - 3 days free with 1st session) from 9:00AM-12:00PM each day. On Friday of each session we will have a family potluck/farm fresh lunch so plan to stay a bit later. Otherwise, lunch is on your own. Your child should bring a simple snack and a re-fillable water bottle. We will have a big cooler of water available. Sturdy, closed toe shoes are required for safety. We will provide all natural essential oil based insect spray. Activities will be in the shade as much as possible so a good slathering of sunscreen at home ought to last through the morning.Sessions:
