Our most immersive farm experience. Campers will participate in the morning electives each day, then put permaculture agricultural principles to work in the afternoon. Along with their team leader, they will work alongside our farm hands to get a truly insider’s look at farming. All day long they build relationships and discover new strengths and interests as evidenced in the farm surroundings.
Every day at camp, the kids have opportunities to partake in different physical activities.
In the hot summer days, water activities are a must, especially spending so much time outdoors.
A few days a week at Mary’s Land Camp, we partake in activities that have more to do with one’s artistic skill.
Of all the activities we partake in at Mary’s Land Camp, we are always surrounded by the beautiful nature around us.
We nurture your little ones as they experience the farm from a smaller person’s perspective. They participate in farm life through their senses, holding animals, digging in the dirt, and asking questions. We oversee their petting the animals, collecting eggs, handling chicks, learning about bugs and insects, tasting the veggies in the garden, creating art projects, and listening to stories. Our wee sprouts come bright eyed and bushy tailed each morning, eager to learn and reluctant to leave.
Our young campers get to experience all facets of farm life with age appropriate opportunities. They love participating in farm chores whether it is grooming the ponies or feeding the chickens. We encourage connection with the land and the animals, and provide daily experiences that increase their knowledge through hands-on, experiential learning. Seeing the sparkle in their eyes as they arrive each morning tells us we are doing something right.
The perfect fit for active early teens. Farm experiences allow them to learn about biology and agriculture, horticulture and husbandry from their daily electives and experiences. Skills are developed that benefit them all year long, instilling confidence as they learn all about cooperative farming and working together. Daily farm life is an adventure in itself to this crew!
Mary’s Land Camp focuses on the total development of the camper. We want our campers to leave camp with new skills, not just physical skills, but social ones as well.
As you learn more about our program you will see that everything we do at Mary’s Land Camp fosters feelings of self-worth and confidence. At camp we try new things and work hard to master skills.
