FARM APPRENTICE 9-12yrs
Our Farm Apprentice Camper program is perfect for children who thrive outdoors, value compassion, and love the feeling of truly accomplishing something.
Our Farm Apprentices spend their day outdoors caring for animals, working side-by-side with our animal care educators. Everyone works as a team, and the apprentices will have a chance to guide our younger campers. Through hands-on farm experiences, they learn responsibility, problem-solving, and kindness while building a meaningful connection with animals and each other. Every day ends with a sense of pride, purpose, and the joy that comes from caring for others.
For those who love horses, there are opportunities to ride and assist in our pony camp.
