Are you ready for a summer filled with adventure, learning, and fun? At Sundial Farmstead, we offer an experience on a real, working farm where children can explore, create, and grow!

A Day at Camp:

Each day begins with a gathering of singing and readings from a classic book, followed by rotations through farm activities, morning snack, hands-on agriculture or forestry lessons, and creative handicrafts. After lunch, campers will enjoy free play and relaxation before diving back into afternoon rotation of activities - sports, nature study & journaling, and additional farming activities. We wrap up each day with group cleanup, ensuring kids learn how to maintain a well-ordered environment, satisfied with the days accomplishments!

Camp Highlights

  • Hands-On Learning: Kids will dive into experience in Forest and Wetland Management, Farming & Preservation of a wide variety of vegetables & fruit crops, Wildlife Observation, and Animal Husbandry. Our farm currently raises laying hens and milk goats which campers learn to care for daily.
  • Outdoor Fun: From playing pickleball to building forts in the woods, our campers will enjoy outdoor recreation activities that spark their imagination and foster a love for the outdoors.
  • Apprenticeship Opportunities: For participants aged 10-12, our program transitions to an apprenticeship model, allowing older children to take on more focused tasks and gain valuable experience in farm operations—perfect for future work experience!
