Summer Camp is Back at Massaro: Two Programs

|
Youth Summer Camp (ages 5-9)
Enroll your child in this all outdoor camp where they’ll explore the 57 acres of fields and woods that make up Massaro Community Farm. During this full-day program, campers will plant and harvest in the farm’s Learning Garden, care for chickens and other livestock, and explore the farm’s woods and wetlands. Each day is a mix of structured and free play with games, snacks, and crafts. This small group program will familiarize your child with the daily workings of an organic vegetable farm.

8:30am-3:30pm
$375/week (sibling/multi-week discount)

Tween Camp (ages 10-13)
Specifically formulated for the budding environmentalist, this program will focus on ecology and forestry. Campers aged 10-13 will dig deeper into concepts such as water conservation, wildlife on the farm, land stewardship, and basic building skills. This is a three-week comprehensive program where each week builds upon the skills of the previous one. Each day is a mix of structured and free play, with the majority of time spent in the farm woods. This small group program will educate as well as build resiliency and self-sufficiency in your budding teen.
