FARM DAY CAMP:Rural Resources holds 8 one-week
sessions of Farm Day Camp every summer for local
children ages 4 to 12. Weeks are specifically geared to particular age
levels.
At Farm Day Camp children learn first
hand about the farm and the natural resources that sustain them.
They learn where their food comes from in a very hands on way--they
milk a cow and make butter, they plant and harvest herbs and vegetables,
and they do some cooking. They learn to connect food with the sun
and rain, and soil and water on the farm. Also, they create art using
materials found on the farm, so that their creativity is nurtured in the
process.
We want children to have the opportunity to build relationships with the land, plants, animals and with farmers. We have very deliberately designed this program to work with small groups of children so that we can build relationships with them and they with us. We have watched many children grow up as they have come back year after year, gaining in their understanding of and connection with the farm.
