Kindercamp (Ages 4-6)

The campers will spend their morning exploring with all five senses; sight, sound, taste, smell and touch. Each week, Miss Kim selects a theme. Last year the campers explored pollinators. They visited the garden, read a story each day about different pollinators they had seen such as butterflies, bees, and bugs. They then made a craft that was related to their story and day's experience to take home. The campers roam the farms woods and fields, visit the dairy, garden, horses and sheep. Each day is an adventure that broadens their experiences and imagination! Friday is family day. Parents are invited to come on Friday and join the group, share the adventure and treats to close the very special week.

The newly created “Woods and Pasture walk” developed in collaboration with the PA Department of Forestry will introduce campers to the area’s rich   natural  resources.  Since the farm is also a Registered a Certified Raw Milk Goat Dairy, the campers will be involved with the daily feeding and care of our dairy herd.
