Information for Parents
Overview
- Summer Camps run Monday through Friday, regardless of the weather.
- All campers need to bring a lunch and light snack to camp daily. Additional snacks will be prepared as a part of the daily camp routine.
- We are a nut-free camp. All camp snack recipes are nut-free and we ask all campers to refrain from bringing nut products in their lunches.
- Campers should dress for the weather and plan to be outdoors for most of the day. Please pack a change of clothes on the first day to be left at camp for the week.
- All campers must wear closed-toe shoes to camp. Flip-flops and sandals are not acceptable for camp activity.
- Every camper needs a water bottle, sunscreen and a hat. Please remember to label your child's belongings.
- Campers are encouraged to explore the farm with their counselors and are expected to listen carefully and respect farm guidelines laid out by our farmers.
- Occasionally, camp counselors take pictures of camp activities for use in farm publications and for advertising and promotions. Camper names are never used in connection with these photos.
