We foster joy and discovery through inquiry and exploration of the natural world and food. Our programs engage individuals at the intersection of health, agriculture and sustainability.
Our camps encourage young folks to think about how their bodies work, to eat to promote good health, and to learn how agriculture plays an important role in nutritious food and a healthy environment. Farm staff and interns lead fun and interesting activities that encourage comfort in the outdoors, the kitchen and in groups. Scholarships available!
