As children care for cows and goats, await poultry incubation, and learn about tractor maintenance, their days at Arethusa Farm Camp provide exciting opportunities to connect with nature, learn sustainable practices, and cultivate a lifelong appreciation for where food truly comes from.
Here, children replace screens with fresh air, and step into the daily rituals of a working farm that once housed the nation’s leading dairy cattle. What unfolds over the course of each weekly session, June through August, is not simply recreation, but an authentic agricultural experience.
Camp registration is open until filled, sign up at arethusafarmfoundation.org
