Farm Camp

School has just let out for the summer in our neck of the woods and while the kids are excited about the summer holiday stretching out in front of them, many parents are sporting looks resembling deer caught in the headlights. So…if you‘re one of these parents how about sending your little darlins to camp? And not just any camp, farm camp. Yes, there is such a place; in fact there are several across the U.S. These camps are generally a two week day camp for boys and girls up to fifteen that combine farm education and sustainable living with regular camp activities. The whole idea behind farm camp is to introduce young people to a traditional agricultural setting where they can experience growing their own food and learn how to care for farm animals by working right alongside the farm staff. How much better can it get?  Instead of complaining how bored they are this summer, your kids could be having the opportunity of a lifetime, seeing firsthand how a farm works; pretty much the perfect summer for them and you!
