Farm Camp – FULL

Farm Camp at Summerfield Waldorf School and Farm is an opportunity for children to connect with the natural world while living into the rhythms and experience of a working farm. The day is designed to inspire a connection with and love of nature and the outdoors. Activities include gathering eggs, planting in the garden, picking berries and vegetables, and cooking delicious organic snacks, crafts, games, songs and stories.

Farm Camp is offered as three age-specific programs: age 4 years, age 5 years, and ages 6-10 years. Please be sure to select the correct age group when registering.

Farm Camp: age 4 years & 5 years, 2 separate groups

Commencing in the Kindergarten Village, both the 4-year-old and 5-year-old groups will separately embark on journeys to the Farm and Permaculture Garden to visit with the animals, pick berries, gather eggs and harvest vegetables. They gain a reverence for the natural world and learn about caring for animals and the earth. The children will also do crafts, sing, play games, hear stories, and enjoy much outdoor play time!

Farm Camp: ages 6-10 years

The start of each day involves circle time on hay bales, setting the tone for farm chores ahead. From gathering eggs to planting in the garden, drying herbs, picking berries, and harvesting vegetables, the activities unfold. Children actively participate, assisting farmers in field work and contributing to the preparation of delicious organic snacks in the outdoor kitchen. Crafting and games are in the afternoon and their day ends with lunch and a story. Led by our very own Ms. Acacia & Ms. Saree, supported by two beloved assistant teachers and provided guidance from SWSF’s talented Farmers.
