Three Full Farm Experience 5-Day Camps.

Full farm school runs Monday through Friday, 9am to 3pm.

The mornings are spent rotating through animal chores, field work, cooking, and gardening. A morning snack and lunch are prepared by the children. Three times a day we also sing a variety of songs , often times in other languages!  In the afternoon games are played on the back lawn. On Friday we ask parents to arrive half an hour early (2:30pm) as the children will give a performance of the songs they have learned. Every child receives a diploma recognizing all the hard work they have done.

Costs:

  • The non-refundable deposit of $50, registration and emergency forms are required to hold a spot.
  • $490 pr. child (which includes that $50 non-refundable deposit).
  • The cost is reduced by $10%, i.e. to  $441 if paid in full by a month prior to the start of the camp.
  • No sibling discounts for the second child, but half price for third and fourth siblings.

Dates for the Four 5 Day Camps from 9AM-3PM

Camp One: June 19-23

Camp Two: June 26-30

Camp Three: July 10-14

 

Unfortunately, No Free ride (like before) for ‘Helpers’.  Which means that they will still be helpers, but have to pay the same as other kids.  If you need financial assistance, please let us know.

 

Maybe this year, we can have a barn dance..more on that as the summer nears..
