CAMP GROW
PLANT TO PLATE
Explore the journey of a seed, from the moment it’s planted in the ground to the minute it enters your kitchen as a fruit or vegetable! Campers will learn gardening skills, like sowing and harvesting, as they care for the crops on the Teaching Farm while also building culinary skills by creating fun, seasonal snacks in the Culinary Studio each day.
June 5–9 | 3rd – 5th grade | $375/student
EXPLORE & RESTORE
Join us on the farm as we explore our local and global ecosystem. Learn about what our environments need in order to thrive and how to help restore the environment
June 12–16 | 3rd – 5th grade | $375/student
GREEN ENGINEERS
Create your own garden or green space, using only recycled and repurposed materials! This camp is designed for campers who are interested in tinkering, building, and tapping into their creative side in order to learn how to grow their own food and using “green” resources to do so.
June 26–30 | 3rd – 5th grade | $375/student
KITCHEN CHAMPS
Let’s get creative in the kitchen! Have you ever wanted to make your own ranch dressing or make popcorn from scratch? Campers will be encouraged to expand their curiosity by taking items normally seen in their kitchens and giving them a new spin.

COMMUNITY, FOOD & YOU
It’s time to get excited about ALL THINGS FOOD – from growing it to cooking it to sharing it with others! In this two-week camp, Campers will explore the relationship between food and community while learning valuable gardening and culinary skills from local growers, chefs, and business owners. Camp will culminate with a Community Dinner planned by the campers and featuring signature dishes they have created, tested, and perfected.
