WHY FARM CAMP?
Summer camp at Hawthorne Valley offers an incredibly unique experience for children ages 8-16. They gain a reverence for the natural world and learn about caring for animals and the earth, and make lifelong memories.
There is so little opportunity in our modern, fast-paced world, to gain an immersive understanding of where our food comes from, how it gets to our tables, and how to love and respect every being that made that journey possible. Spending one, two or three weeks at farm camp can shift the awareness of a person of any age, and with that experience also comes the discovery of independence, self-confidence and compassion.
