Farm and Forest Camp

Nature Camp

Treleven Farm and Forest Camp is for young children, their parents and their caregivers.

What: Nature lessons, explorations, experiments, arts, food, chores and fun for whole families. We use the Four Winds Curriculum (including a puppet show) to begin each day, and then branch out into personal explorations using the farm and forest facilities of Treleven Farm. Themes have included Patterns: Insects, Leaves, Tracks, Animal Coloration, Frogs; Treasure Hunts: for trees, plants, rocks, turtles; Learning about Animals: beavers, muskrats, sheep, chickens, groundhogs; and drawing reflections on nature.

Cost: The sessions are free but we do appreciate donations! Registration is first come first served. We announce the dates and times on our Facebook page. We encourage groups to think of this as a summer field trip opportunity.

What to bring: A brown bag lunch, sun block and bug dope, possibly a change of clothes for the muddy explorations. Families are welcome to bring bathing suits and towels if they wish to stay later to swim. We regret that we do not have a certified life-guard and cannot supervise other children in the pond.
