2026 Critter Camp: 11-16 yr

Get ready for a full week of farm life in Critter Camp! This exciting, hands-on course is perfect for kids who love animals and want to learn how to care for them. Over the course of the week, campers will be introduced to all the animals at the farm—feeding goats, chickens, bunnies, and more, as well as learning the ins and outs of daily farm chores.

With guidance from our experienced staff, children will gain valuable skills in animal care, including feeding, cleaning, and understanding each animal’s unique needs. From brushing bunnies to collecting eggs and mucking out stalls, this week is packed with practical farm tasks that will help kids learn responsibility, teamwork, and the rewards of hard work.

Upon completion of Critter Camp, students will graduate with the opportunity to join our Critter Crew program. As a Critter Crew member, they'll have the chance to come back to the farm every week, working alongside staff to continue learning and helping care for the animals.

This is the perfect way for kids to immerse themselves in farm life and create lasting memories while developing real-life skills that will last a lifetime!

Includes Critter Barn t-shirt. Cost includes one year of Critter Crew Membership ($100).
