Farm Life Camp ... is a fun, exciting day for your 5-14 year old child where they will be immersed in the daily hands on activities of life on the farm. including, but not limited to: Farm Life Comments: from our girls... "I wish I could spend the night and watch the horses sleep." Hannah, age 5  "I'd rather be cleaning stalls than cleaning my room" Cindy, age 8. "I wish I could live here!" Bella, age 7. from our boys... "OK, You did your job...I had a great time here." Chris, age 13. "I thought this would be really boring, but it's actually really fun!" Alex, age 12. We add the boys comments because not all young men are to keen on "learning farm life stuff" during their summers. These are just two that were highly memorable. And telling. Maybe even more telling that they keep coming back! and from our parents... "Thank you! Natalie had a fabulous time last week." Wendy B. What a unique and wonderful experience! A one-of-a-kind special day just for them. You took time to show them so many parts of farm life. Of course the riding lesson was the highlight. I appreciated how you gave ample time and attention to each child. Your method of teaching was encouraging and empowering and seemed to make the children feel right at home on your horse's back! You sparked an interest and love of horses! Lyn B. "The children loved your bunnies, pigs and chickens and really enjoyed your great Fjord horses." Jean J.  Don't miss this wonderful opportunity for your kids to experience real farm life this summer.Parents are always surprised to hear about all the fun things their kids do here at Farm Life Camp lessons. "We work hard!" But our premise is that when we do something we love, work becomes a lot of fun. We really strive to make learning about and doing farm work enjoyable and throw in fun things like real horse riding lessons to boot. And at the end of the day, the greatest compliment we get over and over from our kids are watching them beg their parents not to make them leave. Some with tears streaming down their faces. Like most other farms, we start our days at sunrise, but for the kids, their day will start at 9am and will finish up at 3pm.

About Your Instructors
Additional instructors:  Scott Logan brings the hands on to the harder projects around the farm ... mending fences, repairing machinery and more. Scott's also the chief gardener and with his horticultural background he not only has the knowledge, but the ability to be able to explain in ways we all can understand. He always has a project in process - some of the kids (and even their parents!) enjoy working as a team with him on those as well. 
We also have interns that are here for the summer and they will get to share some of their own expertise and bring a fun, youthful addition to our team. Please Note: We will never force a child to work with any animal they are fearful of - it's just not healthy. Also, while we don't skip anything that we do here on the farm, we do lighten it up so it is age appropriate for your child and strive to keep our small groups similar in age. Successfully completing tasks, building self esteem and having fun doing it are our goals for the day. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is there going to be Advanced Camp this year? A: Not for 2013. We had so much fun with our Advanced Camp week in prior years, but with the farm move, it isn't in the schedule. Q. ... Keep asking! We'll keep posting them.
