Summer at the Farm (summer 2023 classes are filled) for children ages 30 months to 11 years old

Summer programs are offered for 30 month olds with their adult, preschoolers and school age children through grade four. Classes for grade school children offer the farm experience with an additional emphasis on topics ranging from science to history to culinary arts and woodworking.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Due to the outdoor nature of the summer program, children with severe allergies involving Epipens can not be accommodated except in the Adult & Child Together classes.
  • Preschool aged children with special needs may be eligible for assistance through grant funds. Call for more information.
  • If your child has been to Kindergarten, they participate in school age classes. 
  • If your child is not 3 yet – they would participate in adult/child together classes.
  • Once registered, there is a $50 fee for cancellations.
  • After registration, you will receive name tags and more information the week before your class begins.

Adult & Child Together Classes - All classes are filled at this time. Spring adult/child together classes are filled also and found under the adult/child together classes tab.

Children 30 months-4 years and their adult will help feed the animals, plant seeds, gather eggs and more! Adults will gain insights on helping children grow in curiosity, confidence and caring.
