Registration for “Farm and Garden” Camps!
Junie B. Farms Summer Camps:
March 1, 2022- Pre-registration will open for all summer camp weeks.
Our goal is to plant the seeds of stewardship by connecting children to the experiences of learning about life on a farm.
Camp Philosophy:
Summer camps at Junie B. Farms will provide children with the time, space, and guidance to learn about the care of goats and how to grow a giving garden. The Love-Grow-Help motto supports the vision for Junie B. Farms.
Love-Grow-Help
- Camp Motto, Junie B. Farms
Campers will be engaged in purposeful activities that will instill the love of plants and animals by learning how to grow a sustainable garden and nurture the growth of healthy goats. Campers will be involved in good stewardship by learning about how the produce from our garden is donated to help families in need throughout our community. Participants are invited to be a part of a summer experience that is committed to educating and inspiring others!
