Farmers Rising- Overnight Camp (June 23-27) Grade 3rd-4th.

Farmers Rising is an overnight camp in Caledonia, IL.  Scholars will get their hands dirty as they learn how to harvest veggies, learn sustainable living techniques, care for adorable farm animals, and explore nature. Scholars will experience a real working farm while discovering connections between our land and the food we eat.

There is a lot for scholars to do on the farm! Campers engage in daily activities such as feeding goats and chickens, refreshing water buckets, and collecting eggs. Kids earn their “green thumb” by pulling weeds, planting seedlings and turning the compost piles. Our activities teach responsibility in a way that is satisfying and formative. Scholars enjoy group games, relay races, ice-cream making using ingredients from the farm, nature exploration, hiking across the farm’s 200 acres, campfires, nature crafts & more! In no time, kids become part of the working farm, forming deeper connections to the land, animals, food, and each other.

Organics Learning Center costs $75 total.  Parent orientation meeting required.
