Human Animal Connection

SUMMER 2022
June 20th - September  2nd

A Magical Experience, Truly a Fairy Tale! A holistic experience on a 5 acre eco-friendly farm where children learn sustainable living, working hands on with our farm animals. Campers discover through nature, science and art. Different ages work together, benefiting from the opportunity to practice cooperative work and play skills while leading and nurturing, increasing confidence and independence. The outdoors, play, human animal connection and the responsibility of the farm creates happy, fulfilled campers. Art: a focus on creating crafts from typical household "trash" while getting the imagination flowing. Composting/Gardening: understanding the farm-to-table cycle, growing and harvesting. The Farm: a focus on the human animal connection and the responsibilities of the farm that create happy, fulfilled campers.  Imaginative Play/Games: the exploration of the imagination is critical in children's cognitive & social development. ​​​Campers thrive in a nurturing atmosphere, playing with familiar friends, while making new buddies and memories. ​Our furry friends include our pony, donkey, horses, chickens, pigs, goats, sheep and bunnies. We have daily contact with our animals by feeding, cleaning their pens, grooming and/or riding.​ A week at camp includes: farm time, pony rides, gardening, science, nature, water play, sports, art, music, story time and  outdoor play.
