About This Adventure

Experience the joy of nature at Round the Bend Farm's summer camp for ages 6-9! Kids will engage in fun, educational activities amidst beautiful surroundings, with structured breaks for hydration and snacks. This unique camp fosters a love for the outdoors while creating lasting memories in a vibrant farm setting.

At our summer camp, we acknowledge the power of mindfulness and seek to deepen our connection to the world around us in the most practical way we know how, farming!

We are a new farm-based summer camp that values mindfulness and intentionally engaging with nature whose programming consists of farm animal care, field and forest exploration, planting and harvesting, nature crafts, and water fun! Participants will learn about and engage with the farm in a whole new way. Just some camp activities include participating in the compost program, caring for and learning about the animals on the farm (cows, pigs, goats, sheep, alpaca, peacocks, etc.), creating unique nature-themed crafts often sourced from nature itself, planting in their own assigned raised garden bed for the week, as well as getting a chance the harvest and clean the mature version of the same fruits and veggies they plant! During water fun, participants will cool off and use our inflatable water slide and sprinklers.

Our program for children aged 5-9 years old consists of 7 one-week long sessions running from July to the end of August with 1 week at the end of July available in individual days for those 18+ who miss the summer camp experience and want to learn more about sustainable agriculture and mindfulness, and want to engage more with nature.

The weekly fee is $350/week and before/after care is available upon request for an additional $25/hour! (7:30-9am drop off, 3:45-5pm pickup)
