Fall Afterschool Farm Camps
from $125.00

These light and carefree afternoons on the farm offer kids a chance to unwind after their school day in a lightly structured outdoor environment where they can connect with kids, animals and nature in a supportive community. We offer 1 fall session that runs for 8 weeks. Please choose the day that suits your family best. Each afternoon the program begins at 2:30pm and ends at 5pm. $400 per child. (Price is fixed for the 2.5hrs) We welcome Kindergarten - 6th grades for our elementary school offerings.

“Regular” Mondays will be reserved for our Tween / Teen farm hang and this program starts and ends later: 3:30-5:30pm. It will also include “walking school bus”: One of our Wardwell staff will greet kids at the front door of Sakai at the end of their school day and walk them to the farm. This is also an 8 wk run. $400/child.

We will offer full day long camps for the BISD Mondays monthly. 9:30-3pm $125/child.

● Summer

Farm Camp is an opportunity for kids to explore the farm and studio spaces in a guided and lightly structured way with their community. We learn to treat all animals, friends and farm property with kindness and respect. Seasonal themes and prompts are provided. Be ready to join in on farm and garden lessons, craft-out in the studio, create a beautiful muddy mess in Mud Kitchen, fuss with the hens and goats, play outdoor games in the forest and field and have plenty of social time with peers and camp guides.
