Camp Elawa

Camp Elawa includes hands-on activities such as collecting chicken eggs, harvesting fruits and vegetables, and learning about bees and other pollinators. Campers explore the gardens to see how food is grown, visit farm animals, create arts and crafts to take home, cook in a learning kitchen, and share meals with one another each day.

• Ages: 5–11 years old
• Schedule: Week-long sessions, Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.

The program takes place on the Elawa Farm Foundation grounds, where the Discovery Garden is ADA compliant. Elawa Farm Foundation states that its mission is to steward a historic farm as a center for experiential learning to broaden access to education, nutritious food, and the local food system. Elawa Farm Foundation notes that it fosters inclusive, welcoming, and supportive programs for children and adolescents of all abilities, and that programming is adaptable to meet age-specific physical and social developmental needs. The grounds are free to access from sunrise to sunset year-round, on-site parking is free, and the facility operates as cashless. The team manages bee hives on-site for pollination and honey production, and Camp Elawa 2025 camp registration opens in February 2025.
