Animals Around the World- Barn Edition

This week, campers will explore animals from around the world while celebrating the animals right here at the farm. Children will learn simple ways to greet our animals in different languages, explore country-themed sensory tables, and travel the globe through a fun obstacle course designed to encourage movement and discovery. Campers will visit a tree house safari station, dig and play at our global mud café, and create textured maps of the world using a variety of hands-on materials.  Each child will receive their own camp passport, earning a stamp for each region and activity they visit throughout the week.

During Weather & Wonders week, campers will explore the many changes happening in the world around us through hands-on weather and nature experiences. Children will splash and play during water activities, explore wind, sun, and clouds through movement and sensory play, and discover tiny creatures through bug-themed exploration stations. Campers will enjoy weather-inspired sensory tables, nature scavenger hunts, and creative art activities, all while continuing to participate in our traditional camp favorites

Helping Hands & Growing Plans

During Helping Hands & Growing Plans week, campers will explore how plants, animals, and people work together to help our farm and community grow. Children will get their hands in the dirt through gardening and planting activities, take on meaningful helper jobs such as watering helpers and caring for plants, and explore herbs through smelling and hands-on exploration jars. Campers will engage in dramatic play through a farmer’s market and other community role-play stations and participate in a Community Helper Obstacle Course designed to encourage movement, teamwork, and confidence as they complete helper-themed challenges.

During this week and throughout camp, children will have opportunities to learn from real-life community helpers who visit to talk with campers about their jobs, safety, and how they help others, including regular visits from the Longwood Fire Company.
