About
Summer Day Camp includes time for kids to explore garden, field, creek, and river environments, dig in the dirt, smell herbs, and taste fresh fruits and vegetables. Campers learn how to grow food and flowers, harvest produce, cook up tasty food, and create delicious recipes with the culinary arts team. Activities also include hiking and exploring Cordova Creek and the American River Parkway, meeting the chickens, and using stories, songs, crafts, and games to learn about the farm, as well as crafting and harvesting to prepare a Farmers Market Party for families and friends.
