Daily Schedule
Each day our campers will have plenty of time to spend with the animals on the farm by doing chores in the morning, learning how to take care of them and handle them, and just hanging out in the barn. Our weekly camp themes run for an hour each day, while our traditional camp activities will take place at different times throughout the day. These activities include; sports activities, games, crafts, hay rides, horse handling, rowing a boat, fishing, archery, cooking, Native American activities, nature discovery, gardening, hanging out near the pond, and much more! We will brush up on our reading and writing skills daily with our campers. Our trips to the Howell Pool will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 to 5:00. Field trips are on Fridays and we will leave in the early afternoon.
Our Tots on the Farm Program will take place outside where we will do an activity based on the weeks theme. Visiting the barn and feeding the animals is part of our program each time we meet. We will have a few visits this summer from Ms. Teri and her Kindermusik Program. Each Family is welcome to stay until 1:00 and have a picnic lunch with their child, visit the barn, and play.

Our 2 Locations
We have 2 locations where we run our summer camps. The first is on the farm on Farley Road and our second is an extension of our farm on M-36 near Buschs Grocery Store. When registering you will need to specify which location you would like your child to attend. Our Tots on the Farm Program is being held only at the Farley location.
We will be using the LETS Bus Transportation to transport our school aged campers every Monday to the other location so they will be able to experience additional opportunities that we have to offer. Wednesday will be our "Wacky Wednesday" where all of our school aged campers will attend the Farley Road location for a fun filled day (if your child attends the M-36 location you will need to drop off and pick up your child at the Farley location on this day).
