Farm Camp

Farm Camp includes hands-on activities in farming, art, cooking, and nature journaling. Campers take hikes around a 150-acre organic farm, including two hikes a week to explore wild spaces and Live Earth production fields. Activities also include Animal Discovery with pygmy goats and chickens, visits with ponies, a cow and pig, time with a herd of goats and milking cow Bella, fossil making with clay and found objects, harvesting strawberries, planting garlic, making strawberry jam from the fields, watercolors, and daily animal chores, along with learning about life as an organic vegetable farmer.

The Leaders-in-Training program for ages 13 and up involves learning with the education team during each of the two sessions of camp or care, building job skills, gaining experience with children, and learning about life on a working farm, with a daily clean-up, debrief, and skill-building time from 3:15 to 4:00 p.m. Farm Camp takes place on land that is the unceded territory of the Mutsun speaking tribal band of Tiuvta in Calendaruc, represented and cared for today by the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band and Land Trust. The farm where camp is held is Certified Organic by Organic Certifiers for its produce.

The program’s mission is to support the transformation of kids’ relationships to food, their empowerment to become engaged citizens in the community, and the building of skills to steward the natural world. Farm Camp is led in part by Operations Manager Molly Darby. As a small way to give back to families, the program offers a 10% sibling discount, and a generous community of supporters sponsors Farm Camp scholarships. One camper parent reports, “I love that she is outside all day and has a new appreciation of where her food comes from. She LOVES to cook from this camp!”

Families receive a packing list that includes lunch, two snacks, a water bottle, comfortable closed-toed shoes, a sweater, sunscreen, and any necessary medications to be given to staff at drop-off. The program has a policy asking families not to bring dogs to the farm, with service dogs allowed to visit with advance contact and clear marking.
