Sprouts Farm Camp

Spend the week immersed in our outdoor classroom and nature play space. Campers will have the opportunity to harvest and cook snacks from the garden, make garden art, meet and care for our resident goats and chickens, collect chicken eggs, and join in on class fire circles. Daily routines are designed to connect children with the natural world through hands-on interactions with food, animals, and wildcrafting. Sprouts Farm Camp is grounded in forest school principles with ample outdoor child-directed play, play invitations, and guided food and nature-based education. 

 

Summer camps are led by licensed and experienced Worms and Wildflowers instructors, who have completed early childhood and first aid training. Instructors provide a welcoming, comfortable environment where children are free to explore their interests, ask questions, and lead their play.
