Summer Camps
For Summer 2023, we will be offering two camp opportunities: Farm Camp and Circus Camp. Please see below for detailed information and registration links!
Farm Camp
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.
Please Note: Farm Camp is offered as two age-specific programs (ages 4-5 years and ages 6-10 years). Be sure to select the proper age group when registering your child.
Farm Camp (ages 4-5 years)
Starting in Kindergarten Village, the children will journey to the Farm and Permaculture Garden daily 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! Led by Miss Arika & Miss Linden.
• Note: Current Rosebud program families: please inquire via email prior to registering.
Farm Camp (ages 6-10 years)
Every day begins with circle time on hay bales. Then farm chores begin; gathering eggs, planting in the garden, drying herbs or picking berries and harvesting vegetables. Some children assist the Farmer in the field work, or help cook 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 Miss Acacia & Miss Saree, and supported by assistant teachers and Farmer Dana.
