Summer on the Farm!
A weekly drop-off, on-farm, enrichment program for rising 1st through 8th grade youth.
9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. June 26 - August 30, 2024
FULL WEEK $325.00
MINI WEEK $225.00
Youth will be immersed in the working farm and the land WFCF stewards. Participants interact daily with the farming experience, including growing and harvesting their own food in the soil, learning about insects, compost, plants, trees, soil health, nutrition, pollinators, educated farm hens, friendly fiber rabbits and more through hands-on exploration.
Guided by an enthusiastic team of educators, each session includes games, farm walks, stories, art projects, science experiments, animal interactions, music, movement, water play, and cool-down breaks with solar-powered popcorn and popsicles or iced tea we make from garden herbs. Participants will harvest from the growing spaces they help maintain to snack on, and occasionally bring home produce for sharing, along with recipes for some of our favorite program snacks! Participants will interact with fresh produce daily, whether it’s picking and snacking on raspberries, cucumbers, and carrots, or using garden harvests to make a vegan recipe together for tasting.
