Be a farmer for a week and experience summer life on a real working farm. 2008 will be our eleventh year of summer camp and it will be a great one!
Tot Camp
 Preschoolers may enroll in our weekly morning Tot Camps (9 a.m.-12 noon, ). Designed to run simultaneously but separate from our regular camp for your younger children, this active hands-on program will surely delight your three to four year olds as they experience and learn about the animals and plants of the farm. Each week is filled with crafts, snacks, music, as well as gentle introductions to the farm animals. This program has been a week of great fun for little ones and is running for it’s fifth year. Classes are small, so register early! See below for Prices. Interested parents may call for more information.
Regular Camps 
School Aged Children (5 to 14 years old) may register for 1/2 day morning (9:00a.m. -12:00 noon), 1/2 day afternoon (1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.), or full day sessions (9:00a.m. - 4:00 p.m.). With a different theme each day, campers are busy learning about animals, plants and nature, history, science, crafts and food. Each week includes fun and games of all kinds, special guests, and creative endeavors. Our campers are assured of a wonderful and entertaining summer experience in a very unique environment. Six full weeks are available this year and every camper gets a special farm tee shirt. Snacks are provided morning and afternoon. Full day campers must bring their own lunch.
School age campers are divided into several groups:
KinderCamp
 Our Kinder Kamp group (5 & 6 yr olds), is specially designed for early school aged children and we maintain a 6:1 Camper to counselor ratio with this group. This is not Tot Camp which is designed for three and four year olds who may or may not be entering Kindergarten and is separate from our day camp. This group will be part of the day camp, is for kids entering Kindergarten only up to six years old and is designed for more mature early elementary kids. AM and PM sessions, See below for prices.
Explorers and Senior Campers
 Our Explorer group follows children 7-11 through the rest of their elementary years. Due to the many requests from campers and parents we have extended the age of older campers to accommodate the 12-14 year old group. These Senior Campers will assist counselors, have more responsible farm chores, extended craft projects and will be encouraged to participate in creative independent and group presentations. AM and PM sessions, See below for prices.
Counselor In Training
 In addition we are offering a Counselor In Training program for select 15 and 16 year olds who apply and meet the criteria. With a minimum 3 week full day registration (or six weeks 1/2 day registration) and an extended day, 8:30-4:30 (8:30-12:30) this certification program will give CIT's the necessary training and experience to be able, upon completion, to apply for work as a paid camp counselor after two years (or at age 18). AM and PM sessions, See below for prices.
