The Nature Place Farm and Garden Days

Campers spend the session exploring the campground's farms and gardens. Little hands tackle gardening in the morning—composting, weeding, harvesting and tending the honeybees. They'll even have a chance to bake pizza in the camp's outdoor clay oven, taste herbs and learn about plant cycles. After lunch and a swim, youngsters head to the farm, where they'll help take care of cows and sheep, collect eggs, work with sheep wool and more. Transportation is available from Manhattan. Camp runs Aug 11–22, Mon–Fri 9am–4pm. Two-week session $2,100, one-week session $1,050. Ages 6 to 12.
