Summer camps
Bring the country to kids in the city with fascinating summer camps at a working farm!
Immerse your child in a one-of-a-kind farm adventure! At farm camp, kids engage in hands-on activities that educate and inspire as they care for animals, cook delicious foods, create unique crafts, and enjoy fun-filled games.
Registration is now open.
We will not be maintaining waitlists this year. Our new platform, which allows for convenient account creation and a registration queue, does not allow for waitlists. Any available camp spots will be posted directly on our website, where they can be booked on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage you to check regularly for updates.
Kinder farm
Ages 4 to 5
In a working farm setting, children encounter all of the farm animals they’ve heard about in nursery rhymes and stories. They even get to take care of small animals on the farm. Through music, crafts, and co-operative games, campers explore every nook and cranny of the museum’s barns, exhibitions, and gardens!
Fun at the farm
Ages 6 to 8
Kids discover what makes farming fun. By “adopting” a cow for a week, campers learn what it means to care for animals. Nature studies, crafts, games, and more fill your child’s days with fresh air and fun!
Farm adventurers
Ages 9 to 11
Kids can experience the joy of farm life right in the heart of the city! Campers get hands-on experience caring for farm animals like rabbits, poultry, sheep and goats. Your child will enjoy a week filled with games, crafts and delicious snacks too!
Junior farmer
Ages 12 to 14
Perfect for “farmers-in-the-making,” this camp offers youth a chance to take part in a real working farm! Campers “adopt” a calf, feed and groom it, muck out the stalls, and get a hands-on experience with the agriculture industry.
