The Farm Camp at Turkey Hill Farm (for children ages 4-10) teaches environmental literacy through guided exploration in a variety of habitats. The campers grow, harvest, and eat organic vegetables, feed and care for farm animals, and learn through nature based-literature, and child-centered, fun activities.
Children work and play in small groups of twelve and are led by a teacher and an assistant. The schedule focuses us daily on four topics, including: (1) the garden, (2) farm animals, (3) forest habitats, and (4) pond life.
Also, each day children do farm chores. Popular activities throughout the summer include:
-
•hunting for frogs
-
•building fairy houses
-
•reading a chapter from Charlotte’s Web
-
•collecting eggs
-
•digging up potatoes
-
•making zucchini muffinsee
-
•playing in the bean pole teepee
