"Ms Mary, this was the best day of my life!"

Is there anything better than hearing that from a student after a day at the Critter Barn?
We are delighted to invite children with limited resources to our classes.  

In 2008, seventy children are attending Critter Camp because of the generosity of the Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area, the John and Judy Spoelhof Foundation, and private gifts. Each year, it continues, lives are touched.

Your investment grows with the relationship each student develops with the farm staff and fellow volunteers, plus what they share at home.  Most importantly, children of all ages experince life and the wonders og God's creation.  and that is something they carry in their heart for the rest of their life.

For a gift of just $100, you can sponsor area youth for an unforgettable three day experience.  Once the class is completed, students may return at a variety of times to volunteer at the farm.

In 2010, a scholarship fund was established in memory of our founder's late father, Robert Vander Hooning.  If you would like to add
to this fund, and make another scholarship available, contact the farm at critterbarn@charter.net or click on this link.
